What causes black spots on the white of a child's eye?

In our lives we can find that a baby's eyes are clearly black and white. However, for some children suffering from biliary ascariasis, it is found that this is not the case. Some children will have black and blue patches in the white of their eyeballs. I believe many parents want to know why their children have these symptoms. If you don’t know anything about this, you can take a look with the editor.

The appearance of triangular, circular, or half-moon shaped blue, gray, or black spots on the whites of the eyes is a common symptom of intestinal ascariasis. Ascariasis is the most common parasitic disease caused by Ascaris lumbricoides parasitizing the small intestine or other organs of the human body. It is widespread in the country, with most cases occurring in children.

1. Control the source of infection. Expelling roundworms from the human intestine is an important measure to control the source of infection. Patients with intestinal ascariasis should be actively detected and treated, and susceptible individuals should be checked and treated regularly. Especially in kindergartens, primary schools and rural residents, general treatment can be carried out when a sampling survey finds that more than half of the people are infected. 2 to 3 months after the peak of infection (such as winter or autumn), the body can be collected and anthelmintic drugs can be taken. The expelled insects and feces should be disposed of in time to avoid polluting the environment.

2. Pay attention to personal hygiene and develop good personal hygiene habits, wash hands before meals and after defecation; do not drink raw water, do not eat unclean fruits and vegetables; cut nails frequently; do not defecate anywhere, etc. Restaurants and food outlets should be subject to regular hygiene standardization inspections, and the use of raw water to make beverages should be prohibited.

3. Strengthen the management of manure and improve environmental hygiene, dispose of manure harmlessly, do not use raw manure for fertilizer, do not graze pigs, etc. Using harmless human feces as fertilizer and preventing feces from polluting the environment are important measures to cut off the transmission routes of roundworms. In areas where water-based manure is used as fertilizer, the five-grid, three-pond manure storage method can be adopted to allow most of the worm eggs in the manure to settle to the bottom of the pond. Due to the action of free ammonia in the manure and anaerobic fermentation, insect eggs can be killed and the fertilizer efficiency will also be increased.

After reading the above description by the editor, I believe parents have already known why their children have black or blue patches on the whites of their eyes! Biliary ascariasis is a common disease in some children. Therefore, parents should pay attention to it and take their children to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time, so that their children can get rid of the pain caused by the disease as soon as possible.
