What is the treatment of pinworms in children?
Hello. My name is Anna, I am the mother of 5-year-old Kasia and 6-year-old Piotr. Recently, I noticed that kids started to fidget terribly in their beds at night. Moreover, they began to additionally complain about the strong itching around the anus. When they used the toilets, I noticed pinworms appeared in the stools of the children (or so in my time they were called those little white worms). I am writing to you because I need help, what is the treatment currently about pinworms in children? Honestly, I stopped at natural methods.
When I was a child and I got pinworms, my grandmother would start feeding me sauerkraut, cucumbers, and give me chamomile and sage to drink. And how great it helped me. How to heal today owsiki w kale? Are there any effective methods to get rid of these worms quickly and efficiently? The kids go to kindergarten and kindergarten and hate pickled vegetables.
I would not like other children to notice that my little ones are scratching around the anus, so that no one would laugh at them later. I am asking for all methods of treatment (they can be natural and pharmacological). PS how long does it take to treat pinworms in children? Regards Anna from Chojnice.
The doctor advises how to deal with pinworms in the stool of the child
Madam, it is very likely that your children have pinworms, a disease caused by pinworms. Oatosis is a widespread disease, especially in children around the age of 6. It should be remembered that attending nurseries or kindergartens is conducive to the development of the disease. Pinworms mature in the large intestine. Once inseminated by the male, the female migrates towards the anus where it lays eggs when it is outside. It is important that the eggs are laid primarily at night and that the discharge that sticks to them causes severe itching.
In addition to itching, pinworms can manifest themselves as irritability, difficulty in concentrating, sleep disturbances and a lack of appetite. Less often patients complain of abdominal pain, problems with bowel movements or soaking at night. Special tests are performed to detect pinworms in the stool, including a rectal swab or a stool sample. However, there are times when such tests are not needed, since pinworms can be seen in the stool with the naked eye. the treatment of pinworms is quite simple. The most commonly used drug is pyrantel. A single dose of the drug is used, which should be repeated after 2-3 weeks.
When it comes to diet, avoid giving children sweets and give them large amounts of fiber. As for sauerkraut juice, it is worth using because of its health benefits, but not as a medicinal substance, because pinworms cannot be cured with cabbage juice.
