Doctor's answer:
Helminthiasis is a common intestinal parasitic disease in children. Since helminth eggs can survive in soil for a long time, if children play with soil or crawl on the ground and get contaminated with eggs, and then suck their hands or eat food without washing their hands, they may ingest the eggs and become infected with helminths. Additionally, eating raw fruits and vegetables that are not washed and are contaminated with eggs can also cause children to become ill.The lifespan of helminths is 1 to 2 years. As long as children pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid eating unclean food, do not suck their hands, and wash their hands before meals and after using the restroom, the worms can naturally be expelled from the body within a year, allowing the children to recover. Of course, medication can also be administered to children.
