I've been dealing with chickenpox since yesterday, and my doctor told me to get some rest and prescribed HERPERAX 800. But when I went to the pharmacy, they gave me something called Herpikind instead. I'm really wondering, are these two medications basically the same when it comes to treating chickenpox?

I'm really concerned about my son. He's having skin itching but there aren't any rashes. He's been scratching his head, arm, behind his neck, and foot, and there hasn't been any fever or infection recently. I've noticed his appetite seems to be increasing all of a sudden, and he sometimes complains of abdominal pain. I discovered white particles in his stool, but I did deworm him last month. Right now, he's on an antihistamine. This same kind of itching happened last year, and he was advised to take Banocide syrup along with the antihistamine, and it took almost a month to clear up. I'm really worried. What could be causing this, and what should I give him for the itching and abdominal pain?

I've been having this really uncomfortable itching around my anus at night, and it's been driving me crazy because it's making me lose out on sleep. I even noticed some white worms coming from there but only at night. It's a bit concerning because I feel like I need to go to the toilet repeatedly. What could this be? Should I be worried?

You have to do deverming kindly take table Albendazole once in a day ever six months. Wash the anal area with Hot Water and keep it clean.
