Patient's question:
On the 7th, I noticed that the 6-year-old child had many moving small insects. The nails were long in length and width, and the hair was as coarse as or slightly coarser than pig bristles. On the evening of the 8th, before going to bed, the child ate two pills of Anthelminthic. By noon on the 11th, many small, moving living worms were excreted. Is it possible that the deworming was not successful?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of your current physical condition, it is likely that you have pinworms. If necessary, go to the hospital to get a clear diagnosis of the type of parasite. It is recommended to first maintain a cheerful mood and not be overly anxious. If it is pinworms, take thiabendazole orally for three consecutive days, which is usually sufficient. Cultivate good habits, wash hands before meals and after defecation, correct the habit of sucking fingers, and trim nails frequently.2. Change underwear and pants frequently. Infants should be dressed in full-length pants as early as possible. Toys, utensils, and bedding should be frequently cleaned and disinfected.
3. The underwear and pants worn by the patient should be boiled to kill eggs and exposed to sunlight for disinfection.
