What to do if a child has worms in his stool

If the child has worms in the stool, it is necessary to clarify what kind of worms the patient has discharged. If the worms are long, mostly consider roundworms, this situation requires the patient to check the upper abdomen ultrasound, or CT examination, if necessary, can check the nuclear magnetic examination, to determine whether the patient is the intestinal tract as well as the biliary tract of roundworms infection. Wormers are not recommended for babies younger than 2 years old because most of them have ingredients that must be broken down and metabolized by the liver. A child’s liver is usually fully developed above the age of 2 years, and the function of the liver may be impaired if wormer is taken below the age of 2. Babies above the age of 2 years can start to take wormer, and the standard time for taking wormer is once every half a year, and it is possible to take it at any time during the year, and it is more effective if it is taken once in spring and once in fall. Most of the roundworms in the baby’s body reside in the intestinal tract, and keeping an empty stomach before taking the medicine can make the worming medicine fully in contact with the parasites, and it is recommended that the baby take worming medicine orally on an empty stomach for more than 2 hours before bedtime, and the drugs that can be chosen are intestinal worm cleaner, i.e., Albendazole tablets, Mebendazole tablets (Anlux), etc. The positive deworming treatment for 1-2 times will get rid of the worms out of the body. Also note that patients should pay attention to a light diet during the deworming treatment, and do not eat too greasy food. If the pain is more intense, you can also take foods that repel worms, such as vinegar, which will significantly relieve the pain. In addition, patients should pay attention to check the rest of the body for parasitic infections in other organs as well as parts of the body.
