There are also many types of parasites in the human body, among which roundworms are one of the larger parasites that parasitize the human body. Especially for babies aged two or three, when they often experience abdominal pain, indigestion, weight loss, and other symptoms, it is often related to the presence of roundworms and parasites in their bodies. But some parents are not clear about the reasons for having roundworms in their bodies. So, how can a two-year-old baby have roundworms?
Most roundworms parasitize the small intestine of the human body and sometimes migrate to the biliary tract, causing biliary tract roundworms. Moreover, roundworms are divided into two types: male and female. Mature female roundworms can lay more than 200000 eggs in the human body every day. These eggs will be excreted from the body with feces. If people eat unhygienic food, they are highly likely to eat vegetables and fruits contaminated with roundworm eggs and become infected with roundworms. And the majority of roundworm infections are transmitted orally.
Two or three year old babies often like to play on the ground, and sometimes their hands and bodies are covered in dust, which inevitably leads to the contamination of insect eggs and dust. Especially for some babies who often have the habit of eating their hands and do not pay attention to washing their hands before meals, these insect eggs will enter their mouths with food or hands, which can cause two year old babies to have roundworms and parasites in their stomachs.
When a child has roundworm parasites in their body, the damage to the body is greater. Especially during the growth and development period of babies, a large amount of nutrients ingested by the body will be absorbed by roundworms. Excessive roundworms can also knot in the intestines, often causing abdominal pain in babies, and in severe cases, may even cause intestinal perforation. Therefore, timely deworming treatment is necessary, and attention must be paid to the hygiene and hygiene care of young children in daily life.
