At what age should babies be dewormed?

At what age does a baby need to be dewormed? In today's society, there are many young mothers. Babies sometimes have stomachaches or abnormal stools, and many mothers don't know the reasons. Although babies are small, small worms can grow in their stomachs. So, many mothers are concerned about how old the baby should be when they can be dewormed. Let’s take a look at the issue of baby deworming.

1. The formation of roundworms in the baby's stomach

Ascaris takes the human body as its host and lives in the human intestine. Ascaris eggs contaminate soil, water or food, and babies can become sick if they eat contaminated food. Moreover, babies like to play with mud. If their hands are stained with roundworm eggs and they don’t wash their hands before meals, they will have roundworms in their stomachs over time. In this era of increasingly better material living conditions, mothers like to supplement their babies with more nutrition and choose nutritious foods for their babies to eat. However, mothers often overlook an important issue: many foods will produce tiny bacteria invisibly that are invisible to the human eye. Over time, the bacteria in the baby's stomach will accumulate and produce small worms. At this time, most mothers will find that their babies always have stomach discomfort and their bowel movements are not normal.

2. At what age can babies be dewormed?

Every baby's physical condition is different, and mothers feed their babies differently. It also has a lot to do with the baby’s habits. Generally speaking, babies who love cleanliness are less likely to have roundworms. Deworming is also relatively late. Some babies do not pay attention to hygiene and are prone to roundworms, so deworming is necessary earlier. Experts recommend that babies over 2 years old can take intestinal worm clearing medicine to eliminate worms, and babies over 1 year old can take pagoda sugar to eliminate worms. If the baby's face turns yellow, and his eating and sleeping postures are obviously different from before, then roundworms may be formed. At this time, mothers should take their babies to the hospital for stool tests. After the test report comes out, they can take the corresponding anti-worm medicine according to the doctor's advice. In the future, you should pay attention to eating habits and hygiene, and don’t let your babies eat things that they shouldn’t eat.

3. What should you pay attention to when your baby takes anthelmintic medicine?

When babies are taking anthelmintic medicine, they cannot eat greasy or sweet things, especially eggs. Mothers should not let their babies follow their habits at this time, but should control their diet appropriately. After taking anthelmintic medicine, it is best to eat some porridge or noodles. Mothers should avoid feeding meat to their babies. They should wait for about two days after the babies have finished taking the medicine before feeding them meat.

The above question about at what age babies should be dewormed has made you realize that you need to be careful to protect your baby during his growth. There are many problems we don’t know, and many mothers don’t have much experience, so you must pay more attention to your baby’s growth and development, discover problems early, and solve them in time. Don’t let your baby cry all the time, and protect the fruits of your love, because they are hard-earned.
