Frequently asked questions
What are the signs of a worm infection in children?
Possible symptoms include an itchy bottom (rectal area), difficulty sitting, fatigue, restless sleep due to anal itching, or persistent stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion. Another sign of worm infection is pica (a habit of eating inedible substances such as mud). If you see any of these signs in your child, consult your pediatrician immediately.
How can children be exposed to intestinal worms?
Children are more prone to infection due to a weakened immune system. These infections are often passed through contaminated soil from human feces which has not been properly treated. Contaminated water or unwashed fruits and vegetables can also introduce these eggs into the body. Playing in contaminated soil is another possible exposure route for worm infections. Maintaining good hygiene practices, like washing hands and legs after outdoor activities, is crucial to prevent infection.
