ABSTRACT

Worm infections are a common health problem, especially in children. These infections occur when parasitic worms invade the body and live within it, often in the intestines. While there are many different types of worms, some of the most common include roundworms, pinworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. These infections can cause a variety of symptoms, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, itching around the anus, weight loss, and fatigue. In some cases, worm infections can lead to more serious health problems, such as anemia and malnutrition. There are several ways to prevent worm infections, including practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands frequently and thoroughly, especially after using the bathroom or changing diapers. It is also important to cook food properly and avoid eating raw or undercooked meat or fish. If you suspect that your child may have a worm infection, it is important to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
