Prevention methods

The main measure to prevent ascariasis in children is to help them develop good hygiene habits and keep their hands clean. Wash your hands before meals and after defecation, trim your nails regularly, and do not suck your fingers. Do not eat unclean food and do not drink raw water. When eating raw vegetables and fruits, clean them and blanch them in boiling water before eating. In childcare institutions and primary schools, children can be given regular deworming treatments on time according to their specific circumstances to eliminate the source of infection and make it easier to cure the child's ascariasis.

Discovery Methods

First check to see if the child is anemic. Children who often look pale may have anemia, especially on the lips and eyelids. Some even have puffy faces, thinning, dry, and dull hair, and lack of energy.

Second, children with this disease often suffer from anorexia, indigestion, and weight loss. In severe cases, this will affect their development and intelligence. Sometimes they grind their teeth while sleeping (in some places it is called tooth grinding), become frightened, and wake up easily. This should be carefully observed.

Third, ask the child if he has a stomachache. Where does it hurt? Massage with your hands to see if there are any lumps. Because roundworms can produce toxins, causing intestinal cramps and abdominal pain. The pain is mostly around the navel.

Fourth, check whether there are worm spots on the face. Check whether there are bayberry-like swellings on the tongue, especially whether there are miliary papules on the inner mucosa of the lower lip.

If the above symptoms occur, you should take your child to the hospital for a stool examination for diagnosis and treatment.
