What should I do if there are roundworms in my stomach?

When there are蛔虫 (ascarids) in the intestine, the following measures can be taken:

1. Medication: Treatment of ascariasis typically involves administering medications, such as antiparasitic drugs including albendazole and mebendazole. These medications can effectively kill adult worms and larvae in the intestines, thus eliminating the infection. Proper dietary hygiene should be maintained during the course of treatment to avoid reinfection.

2. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Based on the patient's physical condition, treatment may involve the use of patent Chinese medicines or acupuncture. TCM treatment focuses not only on expelling the ascarids but also on regulating the spleen and stomach.

3. Surgical treatment: If the ascarid infection leads to severe complications such as intestinal obstruction or appendicitis, surgical intervention may be required.

4. Personal hygiene: Frequent hand washing, avoiding consumption of unboiled water, and refraining from eating undercooked food can help prevent reinfection. Additionally, family members should also undergo examination and treatment simultaneously to prevent cross-infection.

5. Food handling: Ensure that food is thoroughly cooked, and avoid consuming raw or inadequately heated food to prevent ingestion of ascarid eggs.
