Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I've been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. Could it be that my child's bottom itches because of worms?Doctor's answer:
It should be pruritus ani. The treatment mainly involves paying attention to a regular lifestyle, reducing the intake of tobacco, alcohol, and spicy foods, quitting the habit of scratching, avoiding various external stimuli, maintaining local cleanliness and dryness, and avoiding the use of soaps with excessive alkali or hot water for bathing. Local topical solutions and ointments, physical therapy, etc., can be applied.Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, it's important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a top-tier hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups for the child should be conducted, and medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
