What to Do If a Child Passes a Worm?

Question

What should I do if my child passes a worm?

Answer

If a child passes a worm, it is typically a sign of an intestinal worm infestation. Parents should give their child medication like intestinal worm medicine, taking one to two tablets once a year, preferably an hour before bedtime. Additionally, it’s important to maintain good dietary hygiene, reduce the intake of sugary foods, and prevent the child from the habit of eating their nails.
