Ascaris infections often occur in babies. The incidence rate of ascariasis is high because the baby has poor disease resistance and does not pay attention to the hygiene of hands and mouth. Ascaris can be very harmful to babies, so will having roundworms in the stomach affect their growth? Everyone, come and learn.
Ascariasis, which is not unfamiliar to everyone, is one of the common diseases in children, and younger babies are susceptible to it. The presence of roundworms in a baby's belly poses a significant threat to their health. Ascaris not only affects the sleep quality of babies, but also competes with them for nutrients in food during the parasitic process in the intestines. Over time, the lack of nutritional supply can lead to malnutrition and stunted development in babies, which requires parents' attention.
The main manifestations of a baby infected with roundworm disease are: firstly, uneven skin color on the baby's face or neck, which is not particularly obvious white. Upon closer inspection, there are many white patches, commonly known as small flower faces. Secondly, if the baby has roundworms in their stomach, they may easily wake up while sleeping, causing bruxism, drooling, and itching in the anus. Thirdly, the baby may also experience abdominal pain at the same time.
If a baby is infected with roundworms, parents should be stricter in terms of cleanliness and hygiene, and wash their hands before eating and after using the restroom. Do not let the baby eat toys, fingers, nails, or put anything in their mouth casually.
