Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. Sometimes during the day, I feel dizzy, and it has also 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 maintaining a regular lifestyle, reducing the intake of tobacco, alcohol, and spicy foods, quitting the habit of scratching, avoiding various external stimuli, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding the use of strong alkaline soaps or hot water for bathing. Local topical solutions and ointments, as well as physical therapy, can also be used.Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery conditions. 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 should be conducted for the child, and medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
