Someone used to say that if there are white spots on your nails, it means you have roundworms in your stomach, and it is easy to appear on some babies. Since having a child at home, everything needs to be careful and meticulous, especially in terms of diet. After all, it is eaten into the stomach and must be clean and hygienic, afraid that the child will eat it and affect their health. But many children still have roundworms, so what are the symptoms of roundworms in children?
Children have symptoms of roundworms
Ascaris is a common intestinal parasitic disease, mainly characterized by weight loss, indigestion, intermittent abdominal pain or grinding teeth during sleep in children, and some may also experience nausea and vomiting. For children with such conditions, they can go to a regular hospital for routine stool examination. If roundworm eggs are found in the stool, it can be diagnosed as intestinal roundworm disease and deworming treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
What should I do if a child has roundworms
The main measure for treating roundworm disease is deworming treatment, which involves administering deworming medication to children. There are currently many varieties of commonly used deworming drugs. If needed, we can take one drug at a time. The specific medication should strictly follow the doctor's advice. The treatment of roundworm disease should not be rushed. Taking deworming drugs multiple times in a short period of time or taking too much medication at once is inappropriate, which can lead to serious consequences of drug poisoning.
The presence of roundworms in a child's stomach indicates that the child does not pay attention to hygiene and has not developed good hygiene habits. As parents, we should educate and supervise our children to develop good hygiene habits from an early age, such as washing hands frequently, cutting nails frequently, not gnawing on hands, and not drinking raw water. Eat more vegetables and fruits in daily life for balanced nutrition.
