Question
After the child is six months old, they have a habit of tossing and turning during their afternoon nap, and they have started crying for the past week. What was the past medical experience and the effectiveness of treatment? What kind of assistance are you worried about now? I want to know if her behavior is normal, the reason for her recent crying, and how to deal with the problem of decreased appetite. Thank you.
Answer
It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a check-up to see if abdominal pain is caused by ascariasis. Abdominal pain in children is often associated with ascariasis, especially intermittent, recurring pain around the navel that does not accompany muscle tension or tenderness. It usually comes with decreased appetite, nausea, occasional vomiting, or constipation, and may even expel worms from feces or vomit. After examination, symptomatic treatment should be carried out according to the symptoms. Wishing for a speedy recovery.
