How to check for roundworms in children

Many children often eat unclean things, which will cause roundworms in their stomachs. Roundworms can seriously affect people's digestive system. The food that babies eat often cannot be digested normally due to the presence of roundworms. Therefore, if you find any abnormality in your child, you should first check whether there are roundworms in his stomach. How should children be checked for roundworms?

You can confirm whether your baby has roundworms in his stomach by looking at the following three symptoms.

① Decreased appetite: Ascaris generally parasitizes in the human digestive tract. Grown up ascaris affect the direction of food, disrupt the baby's digestive system, and cause the baby's appetite to decrease significantly. So when the baby always doesn't like to eat, you need to see if it is caused by ascaris.

② Frequent pain around the navel: Ascaris mainly parasitizes in the intestines. When the ascaris grows to a certain size, it will move around in the intestines. When the ascaris moves, the child's navel will feel pain. Some babies also experience pain in the right upper abdomen. This pain is irregular and lasts for an irregular period of time. It will disappear on its own. Due to frequent abdominal pain, children like to rub their stomachs.

③ Picky eating: Picky eating is an important manifestation of ascariasis. Children will have a special preference for certain foods for a period of time and will never get tired of eating them. Sometimes people will directly eat some iron, soil, or hair, which is often caused by roundworms in the stomach.

As the saying goes, "Diseases come from the mouth." Ascariasis is often caused by unhygienic diet. Therefore, if you want to prevent your child from suffering from ascariasis, you need to have good eating habits, wash your hands before meals, and eat clean and hygienic food to prevent parasites and bacteria from entering the human body through the mouth, causing ascariasis and affecting your child's health.

Through the above introduction, parents have a general understanding of whether there are roundworms in their children's stomachs. When there are roundworms in the child's stomach, deworming treatment is needed in time. Deworming is also relatively simple. Parents can go to some clinics to ask about the specific deworming drugs used, and give the children the medicine according to the doctor's requirements to expel the roundworms from the body.
