I'm experiencing this strange sensation like something is crawling in my anus, but I can't see any worms or anything visible. This usually happens after I use the toilet and if I've been using the water pipe a lot. Could it possibly be some kind of infection from the water? There's no itching, just an uncomfortable and weird feeling like something's crawling inside. What could this be?

Possible helminthic infection. I recommend taking a single dose of Albendazole 400mg tablet to treat the possible infection. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices, such as washing hands frequently and keeping the anal area clean, can help prevent reinfection. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with diarrhea on and off for over a week and a half now, and in between, my stools have turned this chalky white color. It's got me a bit worried, especially because I'm nursing and don't want to pass anything to my baby, even though she seems alright. I had the stomach flu about three weeks ago and then traveled, and this issue started when I got back. Is it possible that it's linked to the stomach flu, or could it be some kind of viral infection that just flared up again? What's going on and should I be really concerned about this?

Don't worry Take plenty of water, ors solution Take very simple and light food for 3 days Take Tab Dompan SR 1 on empty stomach Tab levomac 250 mg 1 tab Twice a day Tab metrogyl ER 1 tab Twice a day Cap Bifilac hp 1 perday All for 3 day
