Frequently asked questions
How can I identify if my child has a worm infection?
If your child experiences persistent anal itching, difficulty sitting, fatigue, restless sleep, stomach pain with loss of appetite or frequent indigestion, or exhibits pica (eating inedible substances like mud), it may indicate a worm infestation. Consult your child's doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms. The doctor may request stool and blood samples for examination to determine the best course of treatment.
How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Children are commonly affected by worm infections. Transmission occurs through eggs present in human feces that contaminate soil, especially in areas with poor sanitation.
