Step 1
Use anti-parasitic medication. Anti-parasitic medication destroys the roundworms and kills the larvae that infect the intestines. Medications like Albenza are prescribed by physicians to quickly clear intestines if the condition is caught before mature roundworms reach the muscles. If the roundworms have already migrated, additional medication is needed.

Step 2
Use pain relievers. The larvae and roundworms that travel to muscles cause the patient pain. As the roundworms die, they calcify and create painful cysts. Doctors prescribe pain relievers while the patient is using treatments like anti-parasitic drugs.

Step 3
Treat allergies with corticosteroids. The immune system detects the invading roundworms and induces inflammation in the muscles and tissue. Corticosteroids are used to treat the inflammation, and also to reduce some of the pain from immune responses.
