During the growth process of a baby, the most common thing is the presence of parasites in the body. Having parasites in the baby's body can affect appetite and normal development. Therefore, parents should judge whether the baby has parasites based on their usual health condition. If the baby has roundworms, they can be killed in a timely manner. So, how to check if a baby has worms? Let's take a look below.
How to check if a baby has worms
1. A baby usually has a good appetite and eats a lot, but soon after eating, they feel hungry. Especially if the baby's face turns yellow or dark yellow, it may be due to roundworms in the baby's stomach, which can absorb nutrients from the food the baby eats and cause poor physical development.
2. For a period of time, the baby's appetite suddenly decreased, and they always felt like they had no appetite, even showing severe picky eating. In fact, these symptoms may be due to the baby having roundworms in their stomach.
How to prevent ascariasis in babies
1. It is important to cultivate good hygiene habits in babies from an early age, such as washing hands before meals and after use, and not letting them eat unclean fruits. Some babies put everything they see in their mouths. Parents should educate their children on what they can and cannot eat, which can also prevent roundworm disease.
2. Babies are curious about anything, so they tend to touch everything around. Therefore, parents should cut their babies' nails, as nail crevices can easily harbor roundworm bacteria. Timely nail trimming and educating them not to eat their fingers can also prevent roundworm infections.
