Ascaris infection is a parasitic disease that parasitizes the intestines after being infected with pupae, which can easily cause paroxysmal umbilical and abdominal pain and recur as the main clinical manifestation. It is more common in rural areas and children under the age of 3 are more susceptible to this disease. The direct and effective way to treat roundworm disease is to take medication for deworming, but the effect varies depending on the season of medication. When did the baby have roundworms?
When did the baby have roundworms
According to scientific verification, babies are prone to contracting ascariasis in the age groups of 5-9 and 10-14 years old. It is best to choose autumn to drive away roundworms for children.
Babies are usually infected with roundworms from April to October each year, with July and August being the peak periods for roundworm infections. At this time, the larvae mainly live in the lungs or blood, and have not reached the small intestine. Drugs do not have any effect, and roundworm eggs take about 60 days to mature into adults. In autumn, the eggs infected in summer grow into large worms, and drugs can kill roundworms in a short period of time.
To prevent roundworm disease, the following points should be achieved
To prevent roundworm egg disease, it is recommended to wash hands frequently before and after meals, preferably with hand sanitizer or soap. Before eating raw fruits and vegetables, they should be cleaned thoroughly, and those that can be peeled should be peeled as much as possible. Children are prohibited from playing games that contaminate their hands, such as playing with dirt or pinball. Do not eat food that flies or cockroaches come into contact with, as they often transmit viruses and bacteria to food, which can easily spread diseases. Parents should be careful.
