Hello have gone through your concerns. If I were your treating physician I would have suggested replenishing your children salt and electrolyte deficiencies due to diarrhea. Give him intravenous fluids and keep him nothing by mouth and observe him for three days. Then I would have suggested albendazole or mebendazole 100\u00a0mg for 2 weeks to kill that parasites. For the bug in the bile duct I would have suggested doing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) to remove as caries. In my opinion you should meet a gastroenterologist. Thanks. Hope the answer is helpfulness your child a healthy life
