If you have roundworms in your intestines, you may appropriately take anthelmintic medications—such as mebendazole, albendazole, or levamisole—which are highly effective against parasitic worms. During treatment, it is also essential to maintain good dietary hygiene: avoid drinking untreated water and eating unwashed food. Additionally, develop the daily habit of washing hands before meals and after using the toilet.
