Many parents have experienced their children getting rid of worms because during their growth process, their children often eat unclean things or eat their own hands after touching unclean things. Therefore, having worms in the stomach is actually a very normal thing. Today, the editor is going to talk about whether babies can suffer from pinworm disease?
During infancy, pinworm disease is the most common parasitic disease. This disease can have many adverse effects on children's daily lives. For example, worms can directly cause itching in the baby's anus, causing them to cry and become restless, and sometimes exhibiting emotional distress. If parents notice these symptoms in their children, they should suspect that the child has pinworm disease.
It can be seen that infants are susceptible to pinworm disease, but there is no definite answer as to how old infants will develop this parasitic disease. Generally, pinworms are more common in school-age children, ranging from infants as young as one or two months old to teenagers. Therefore, there is no consensus on the age of illness. The main purpose of this pinworm disease is prevention, and parents should actively take preventive measures to prevent their children from developing pinworm disease during infancy or childhood.
Parents should take disinfection measures for their children's daily necessities, close fitting clothing, or frequently played toys, such as boiling them with boiling water. Encourage babies to develop the good habit of washing their hands immediately after defecation. If you find that your baby has symptoms similar to pinworms, you can use a flashlight to look at your baby's anus and check if there are pinworms crawling out. If you find any worms, you should immediately take your baby to the hospital for deworming.
