Patient's question:
We originally planned to take the child back to our hometown next week, but yesterday the child said they had stomach pain. When we went to the hospital, they said it was due to roundworms and prescribed medication, which the child is now taking. I was wondering if children with biliary roundworm disease can take the train?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, the child has abdominal pain, which may include intestinal cramps, gastrointestinal dysfunction, or ascariasis. If ascariasis eggs are found in the stool, a definitive diagnosis of intestinal ascariasis can be made, and treatment with an anthelmintic can be administered. Additionally, it is possible that the symptoms are caused by intestinal cramps due to cold exposure. In such cases, treatment with a spasmolytic and analgesic can be given, and it is advisable to avoid spicy, raw, cold, and refrigerated foods, as well as carbonated beverages. As long as the abdominal pain subsides, the child can travel by car.
