Patient's question:
My dear daughter, she is only four years old. Since yesterday, the child has been complaining of stomach pain. At first, I thought it was diarrhea, so I bought many diarrhea medications for her, but they didn't help. Then today, I took her for a thorough gastrointestinal examination, and they said the child has worms. So, what should I do if she has worms?Doctor's answer:
Children contracting ascariasis require timely implementation of stool tests for diagnosis. Based on the test results, appropriate deworming medication should be administered to eliminate the parasites. It is important to pay attention to dietary hygiene and adjust the child's diet, avoiding excessive consumption of cold and irritating foods. Maintaining good hygiene for the child can gradually stabilize the symptoms of ascariasis infection. There is no need to be overly anxious; closely monitor the symptoms and seek treatment accordingly.
