Frequently asked questions
How can I know that my child has a worm infection?
If your child experiences symptoms such as an itchy bottom (rectal area), difficulty sitting, fatigue, and restless sleep due to anal itching or persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion, they might be infected with worms. Another sign is pica, where the child eats inedible substances like mud. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice these symptoms. The doctor may ask for stool and blood samples on 3 different days for examination to decide upon treatment.
How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Children are often heavily infected. Infection can spread from contaminated soil in areas with poor sanitation through the eggs of worms present in human feces, which can be transmitted by drinking contaminated water or eating unpeeled/ unwashed vegetables and fruits. Your child may also get infected by playing in contaminated soil. Ensure they clean up using soap and water after returning home.
