Taking Vermox to get rid of parasites : why do I cough up pa Posted: 07-24-07 14:13pm
I have been coughing up strange round and
oval, semi-transparent things about 1 or 2
mm that look like eggs to me; when they
are big enough, I can see something long
and yellowish inside. I take Vermox to
get rid of parasites every six month, and
two month ago, I actually took 3 pills of
Vermox over 3 days and for a while, I was
coughing up these "eggs" a lot less. I've
also felt a lot less hungry than I used to
be (I'd eat about every two or three hours
before that).
Unfortunatly, I'm still coughing up these
eggs, even if not as much as before, and I
am getting worried: no doctor I have gone
to seems to know what they are.
Unfortunately, I live in a small West
African country (Senegal) and I don't know
how qualified the people I have seen are.
I'm wondering what I have and how to get
rid of it. I've had them for close to 2
years, now (I thought taking Vermox
regularly would help, but I guess not),
and other than my increase of appetite, I
don't feel affected in any other way.
The “strange round and oval,
semi-transparent things about 1 or 2 mm
that look like eggs” can be examined by
a microbiologist to reveal their nature.
Without a microbiological examination,
it's not possible speculate about the type
or nature of a possible disease.
