Sometimes it is precisely because our children are too lively that they often pick up food from the ground and put it in their mouths to eat when we are not paying attention, or they put their dirty hands in their mouths and lick them. These behaviors are extremely bad. After a period of time, it may be detected that the child has ascariasis. So, how to diagnose and treat ascariasis?
Diagnosis and treatment of roundworm disease
Ascaris infection is a common intestinal parasite that lives around our environment and is transmitted through the fecal oral route. Once infected, it is recommended to actively seek deworming treatment, otherwise it can lead to serious complications, such as the common case of Ascaris drilling the gallbladder. Firstly, young children have a history of unclean hygiene and do not wash their hands, which is a common factor. Moreover, roundworm infection is mainly transmitted through the fecal oral route. If adult worms are excreted from the stool, it can be clearly indicated that the roundworm has been infected.
In addition, when young children exhibit some strange behaviors, such as pica, liking to eat dirt, clothes, hair, and other things, parents should suspect whether the child is suffering from roundworm infection. In addition, a stool routine examination should be conducted. If roundworm eggs are found in the stool, it should be considered as roundworm infection.
The hazards of roundworm disease
We should be quite familiar with roundworm disease. This is a very common parasitic disease caused by roundworms parasitizing in the small intestine. Depending on the location of the family planning site and the stage of development, it can be classified into different symptoms that require our attention. Patients with roundworm disease may experience various symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, general discomfort, urticaria, grinding teeth, restlessness, and more. Severe cases can lead to intestinal perforation. Therefore, if similar symptoms occur, timely treatment should be taken and attention should be paid.
So no matter when, as parents, we should always care about our children and never let them do anything bad. Especially in terms of hygiene, we should remind our children to keep clean at all times. Perhaps because the child is still young and doesn't understand what is good and what is bad, we can help them understand the benefits of maintaining cleanliness and hygiene through our assistance.
