Question
Can a 6-month-old baby stand up? How can I determine if my child has worms in their stomach?
Answer
A 6-month-old baby generally does not have the ability to stand. They primarily move by lying down and crawling. As for how to determine if a child has worms in their stomach, you can make an initial assessment based on some common symptoms, including but not limited to: Does the child frequently complain of stomach pain, especially around the navel, and is the pain sometimes relieved by rubbing? Does the child easily wake up at night, grind their teeth, and drool; Are there pale, almost circular or oval spots on the child’s facial and neck skin, with fine grayish white scales, commonly known as ‘worm spots’; Does the child occasionally have ‘urticaria’, or hives on their skin; Does the child have a preference for certain foods and enjoy eating unusual things like dirt, paper, rags, etc.; Does the child eat a lot but never seem to gain weight, always feeling hungry and loving snacks; When sticking out their tongue, are there scattered round, evenly edged red papules on the tongue surface? These symptoms may indicate that the child has worms in their stomach, but the most accurate method is to take the child to see a doctor for professional examination and diagnosis.
