Pinworm disease is a common disease among children, which usually occurs in concentrated children. For example, some children may be very healthy at home, but after a few days in kindergarten or elementary school, they will develop the disease. Many parents are worried about this. Currently, comprehensive treatment methods are mainly used for children's pinworm disease. So when is the best time to take pinworm medicine for children?
It is best to take medication for children's pinworm disease after they wake up in the morning, before breakfast, or within two hours after dinner. Because pinworm drugs are mainly targeted at children and have limited efficacy, patients can only achieve maximum efficacy when taken on an empty stomach, which can quickly have insecticidal effects. In addition, after the child takes the medicine, parents can give the child some acidic food to help absorb the drug.
After a child is diagnosed with pinworm disease, in addition to taking deworming medication in a timely manner, it is also necessary to ensure sufficient rest. During the treatment of pinworm disease, the amount of exercise should not be too much. If the body is tired, it will not be beneficial for the recovery of the disease. After one week of treatment, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to confirm whether the condition has recovered. In addition, parents should pay attention to timely disinfection of their children's rooms to prevent the recurrence of the disease.
In daily life, parents should give their children more fiber rich foods, such as celery, chives, bananas, sweet potatoes, etc., to stimulate metabolism, accelerate intestinal peristalsis, and allow the worms in the child's stomach to be excreted with feces. Parents should urge their children to do a good job of personal hygiene and washing hands before meals, which is very beneficial for suppressing pinworm disease.
