Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
For ascaris in stool, Mebendazole or Albendazole drug is prescribed for 3 days. After completion of its course you can repeat stool routine micro examination.
Avoid excess spicy foods for few days. No further investigation needed for this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
