Key Information
Short Description
Worm Hunt 200mg Suspension is a medication used to treat parasitic worm infections in children.
Dosage Form
Suspension
Introduction
Worm Hunt 200mg Suspension is effective against a range of parasitic worm infections in children. It restrains the worms from absorbing the body's essential nutrients, causing them to lose their energy and leading to their eventual death. The dead worms are then removed from your child's body through the stool.
Directions for Use
Give this medicine to your child with a fat-containing food such as milk as it enables better absorption in the body. Follow the prescribed dosage strictly. In case your child is prescribed to take this medicine for a few days, make sure to complete the dosage as stopping abruptly may lead to re-infection.
How it works
Worms enter inside your child's body when your child eats or drinks something that's infected with a worm or its eggs. Once inside the body, these worms get attached to the inner walls of the intestines and can even enter other body organs. Worm Hunt 200mg Suspension works by keeping the worms from absorbing sugar (glucose), thereby depleting their energy level. This causes the worms to die, thereby treating your child's infection.
Quick Tips
Give this medicine to your child with a fat-containing food such as milk as it enables better absorption in the body. Follow the prescribed dosage strictly. Make sure to complete the dosage as stopping abruptly may lead to re-infection. Worm infections are easily spread between family members. Your doctor may recommend treatment for all family members on the same day, whether or not they have any symptoms of infection. Some self-care measures: Do not give raw or undercooked food to your child. Instead, give a balanced diet containing herbs, fruits, and spices of therapeutic value. Encourage your child to wash their hands with soap and water every time they use the toilet as that will help prevent cross-infection. Trim your child's nails frequently to disable any source of worm infection. Maintain a neat space and hygiene around your child.

Frequently asked questions
How can I know that my child is having a worm infection?
If your child experiences symptoms like persistent itching in their anal area, difficulty sitting, fatigue, and restless sleep due to anal itching or persistent stomach pain accompanied by loss of appetite or frequent indigestion, it may indicate a parasitic worm infection. Other signs include pica (eating non-food items like dirt). Consult your child's doctor immediately if you observe any of these symptoms. Your doctor may request stool and blood samples on three different days for examination to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment will be prescribed based on test results, likely involving medication.
How can my child become infected with intestinal worms?
Children are more susceptible to parasitic worm infections. Transmission often occurs through contact with contaminated human feces that is present in soil due to inadequate sanitation practices. This can occur via ingesting contaminated water or consuming fruits and vegetables without proper washing or peeling. Playing in contaminated soil may also pose a risk for infection. Upon returning home, ensure your child cleanses their body thoroughly with soap and water after playing.
