Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that it won't be tape worm because tape worm never comes out of the anus as such. There is possibility that it may be pin worm or something else. I suggest you should think of taking albendazole tablet 400 mg single dose. It will clear all your symptoms. Also do not eat much sweet and oily substance during the treatment period. You can take cetrizine tablet for frequent itching
I will be happy to answer your further concern
You can contact me.
