Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that pin worm or enterobius vermicularis infects the lower part of the anus and surrounding area. It never causes swelling in tummy. Secondly it never causes such a severe disease that requires your admission to hospital for week. There must be something else that require further investigation.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
