Stool mucus still coming
We showed the stool report earlier. It showed mucus 2+, occult blood positive, and Ascaris worm.
Last week we gave Zentel 400 (Albendazole) as prescribed. But there is still mucus coming in stool and there is no improvement.
Can we give one more Albendazole tablet now, or do we need another medicine?
Do we need to do the colonoscopy now?
Also please tell us: What food should we give?
What precautions should we take?
Please advise what to do next.
