Babies are prone to roundworms. Ascaris worms in babies' stomachs can affect their digestive system, as well as their healthy growth and development. They are not good for babies' health and are familiar to mothers with babies. So, how to treat Ascaris worms in babies?
Most roundworms are caused by babies not paying attention to hygiene and bacterial infections. So mothers should make their babies wash their hands before meals and after using the toilet, avoid eating unwashed fruits, and avoid drinking raw water. Regularly trimming your baby's nails can breed roundworm bacteria. If parents cut their babies' nails irregularly, they will bite their own hands and feed bacteria into their stomachs, causing roundworms.
Baby's bed sheets, duvet covers, and clothes should be cleaned regularly, preferably with boiling water and then exposed to sunlight for sterilization. It is also possible to regularly give babies medication to prevent the growth of roundworms. Generally, babies can start taking it after the age of two. These drugs can effectively prevent babies from developing roundworms.
After a baby has roundworms, they often experience symptoms of constipation or diarrhea, accompanied by abdominal pain. Mom can relieve the baby's condition by rubbing their belly with her hands. Generally, babies may experience poor sleep quality, waking up easily, drooling, frequent scratching of their buttocks, and decreased appetite. If left untreated for a long time, babies may develop slower than their peers of the same age.
