Patient's question:
The child has been complaining of stomach pain for the past two days. Whenever she experiences stomach pain, it's excruciating, and she's covered in sweat. After being examined at the hospital, it was diagnosed as intestinal roundworm disease. I'm wondering if this condition can affect vision?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: The child's examination revealed intestinal ascariasis, which is caused by poor dietary hygiene. The child may experience symptoms such as intermittent abdominal pain and perianal itching. This generally does not affect the child's vision. It is recommended to give the child oral deworming medication for symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to the child's dietary hygiene, wash hands before meals, and ensure that meat is thoroughly cooked when feeding the child.
