Question
My child, who is 3 years old, experiences abdominal pain every time they have a bowel movement. The pain lessens after defecation and persists for a week. The child has a habit of touching their navel and often sleeps on their stomach.
Answer
Children may become infected with parasites after playing and ingesting parasite eggs. It is recommended to give the child deworming medication, and if it is ineffective, the child should be taken to the hospital for a check-up.
