It sounds distressing to have persistent itching and the sensation of something inside you despite taking albendazole. Albendazole is an antiparasitic medication used to treat various worm infections, but if symptoms continue after treatment, it may indicate that the infection is not fully cleared or that another cause is responsible.
If you experience worsening symptoms, new signs like fever, rash, or severe discomfort, seek urgent medical attention. Otherwise, please consult a doctor promptly for a thorough assessment and tailored treatment plan.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you're experiencing itching and a sensation of a worm inside you, even after taking albendazole. Could you please provide your age and gender?
