My baby is 10 months old. Ascaris lumbricoides was seen in her stool test report. Please tell me what this is and what the treatment for this worm is? My doctor has suggested that, since she is only 10 months old, we cannot give any medicine until she turns 1 year. Please advise.

Ascaris is a type of intestinal worm. While some doctors wait till age 1, if symptoms are severe, pediatricians may consider treatment. Keep hygiene strict. Consult a pediatrician again. Syrup Bandy will be given if the symptoms are severe

I have been suffering from gastric problems for the past four weeks and recently I have started noticing black stools. I am attaching my report here and would like to know what the issue might be.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am attaching my report. Please explain what it means. Is there any medicine to relieve patchy hyperemia in the antrum, which suggests gastritis? I have had indigestion for five months, and my stools are thin, and I sometimes feel a burning sensation in my stomach. When I eat foods such as rajma, chole, paneer, milk, soybean and chicken, I often feel stomach discomfort for two days, and my stool becomes loose. Please explain in detail and help?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been having stomach ache for 1 to 2 years. My reports are normal. The pain is on the left side and is continuous.
