Patient's question:
At night during the birthday, he sleeps gritting his teeth, and in the morning he claims his stomach hurts. Is it because there are roundworms in his stomach? How can they be eliminated? The onset and duration of this illness: Every morning for the past three months, he claims to be sick. His current general condition: Otherwise normal.Doctor's answer:
Mildly infected children with roundworms may not have obvious symptoms. Severe roundworm infections may cause poor appetite or a preference for foreign objects. Their faces are pale and thin. They experience abdominal pain around the umbilicus. Their abdomen is always soft. They may touch the soft abdomen or gather and disperse worms. They may also see roundworms vomited or found in their stool. Their stool is dry and irregular. Some children have pale white spots. Blue spots may appear on the sclera. Granular white spots may be present on the lower lip. The tongue is thin, greasy, or has peeling patterns. The tip of the tongue is red. The cause of this disease is when children swallow roundworm eggs. The main route of infection is through contaminated hands or unclean food consumption.
