As children grow up, they will gradually come into contact with more objects, and in this process, they may encounter more unexpected situations. Sometimes babies complain of stomach pain, which may be due to the presence of insects in their stomachs. This requires going to the hospital for deworming, but deworming is not necessarily better the earlier. So, at what age can the baby deworming be done.

Babies may encounter worms such as roundworms, hookworms, and pinworms. After expert discussion, it is best to consider getting vaccinated when children are over 2 years old. Due to the incomplete development of the body and liver in children under 2 years old, the deworming components of most insecticides can affect the liver function of the human body. After taking it, it is easy to cause damage to the child's liver function. And children under the age of 2 usually move around under the care of their parents, so the risk of contracting insect eggs is relatively low, so there is no need for deworming.
How to deal with deworming behavior
Regardless of the type of parasitic disease, it is best to prioritize prevention and cultivate good hygiene habits in children from an early age. Don't eat those spoiled and rotten things, wash your hands before and after meals, cut your nails frequently, and don't suck your fingers, etc. If a child really has worms in their stomach, it is best to take medication under the doctor's advice and not buy medication on your own.

Deworming is not the only solution, we need to take preventive measures for children and eliminate insects from the source.
