Patient's question:
Your son has been complaining of hunger recently. He just finished a meal and then says he's hungry again, and he eats a lot. I'm worried he might not be able to digest it well, but his bowel movements are normal. He eats a lot and has frequent bowel movements. I heard that having roundworms in the stomach can also lead to overeating. Could it be that he has roundworms?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the baby showing symptoms of eating a lot and being easily hungry indeed needs to be considered for the possibility of having roundworms. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a routine and thorough stool examination and diagnosis. It is suggested that you take your child to a regular hospital for a routine stool examination to check for roundworm eggs. If they are found, it would be necessary to consider roundworm infection and decide on deworming treatment.
