"My kids loved grinding their teeth after falling asleep lately!"
"The child has worms in his stomach and needs to take insect medicine."
I saw a conversation in a group the other day, as if the best way to tell if there is a worm in the child's stomach is to see if the child is grinding teeth.
When the child grinds his teeth, we feel that the child has worms in his stomach, as if the teeth grinding can completely determine whether the child is infected with roundworms.
But is this really the case?
"Grinding teeth at night, crawling bugs in the stomach" science?
The old man always tells us that when the child falls asleep at night and likes to grind his teeth, there must be worms in the stomach.
So many mothers always think that the old man said this is the truth, after all, they have experience, but not necessarily, this method is not scientific.
Modern medicine has found that there is a correlation between teeth grinding and roundworms, but there is no necessary causal relationship.
That is to say, it is not that the child grinding teeth must be infected with roundworms, it can also be said that the child infected with roundworms will not necessarily really grind teeth.
Why is there such a statement? In fact, it is very simple, this is because in the past, many children will be infected with roundworms, and importantly, many children will grind their teeth when they are young, so many people will think that grinding teeth is infected with roundworms.
I remember once when I was chatting with my cousin, we talked about the problem of the child sleeping at night to grind his teeth, so I said to my cousin that my family used to grind my teeth at night for a while.
My cousin immediately said to me, "You buy some insect medicine for your child, this is the child infected with roundworms." ”
I also attached great importance to it at that time, thinking that the child was really infected with roundworms, so I took the child to the hospital, but after going to the hospital for examination, the doctor told me that the child was not infected with roundworms, and it was normal to grind his teeth at night.
Therefore, we use the night to grind our teeth and have worms in the stomach to determine whether the child has roundworms, which is actually not scientific at all.
The important thing is that if the child really has worms, he will eat the medicine, but if the child has no worms in the stomach, taking the medicine will only hurt the child.
Wrong judgment will only hurt the child
When there are insects in the child's stomach, we must give the child anthelmintic medicine in time, but if there are no insects in the child's stomach, eating insect repellent, or there are worms, we give the child ourselves, it will only hurt the child.
I've seen such a news before, and it's shocking.
A 6-year-old little girl, the mother felt that her stomach had worms, so she gave the child anthelmintic medicine, after the child took the medicine, the worm not only did not come out, but drilled into the child's eyes.
Later, the mother took the child to the hospital, and after some examination, the doctor removed two small roundworms from the child's eyes.
Sometimes our way is not right, indiscriminate use of insect repellents, roundworms are easy to run around in the child's body, and roundworms are not only in the child's intestines, once he is stimulated, he can go everywhere.
The harm to the child is huge, so we should not give the child to eat roundworm medicine, even if the child's stomach is really worm, we must also take the child to the doctor, according to the doctor's diagnosis to take medicine.
If the child is not infected with roundworms, we mistakenly think that the child is infected, let the child take medicine, not only hurt the child's stomach, may also stimulate other germs, there is no benefit to the child.
What are the specific manifestations of insects in the stomach?
In fact, whether there are roundworms in the child's stomach will have some obvious performances, and these performances we can judge.
In general, if the child has the following situations, it is likely to be infected with roundworms, and we must take the child to the doctor.
(1) Children often have stomach pain
When the child is infected with roundworms, it generally has stomach pain, especially around the navel, and generally after we give the child a gentle dose, the pain is reduced.
In this case, it is necessary to consider that it may be infected with roundworms.
(2) Children are easily awakened at night, accompanied by teeth grinding and drooling
When the child is sleeping, once there are roundworms, roundworms are active in the intestine, they will release toxins, at this time the child's brain nerves will feel excited, so it is easy to chew the action, which is what we call teeth grinding.
And usually at this time, it will be accompanied by drooling.
(3) There are insect spots on the face or neck.
When the child is infected with roundworms, there will be a white spot on the face and neck, with some texture on it, such a spot is a worm spot, once this kind of spot appears, it means that the child is infected with roundworms.
(4) Children are partial to food and like to eat some strange things
Generally, after the child is infected with roundworms, he will like to eat some very strange things, such as biting clothes, such as paper, stones and so on.
In this case, it is also necessary to consider whether the child is infected with roundworms.
(5) The child eats a large amount of food, but does not grow meat.
When the child is infected with roundworms, suddenly you will find that the child eats a lot, but does not grow meat, and the important thing is that the child still looks yellow and thin, malnourished.
At this time, the child has just finished eating, he has to eat snacks, and his mouth can't stop.
(6) In the excrement, there are worm eggs
Finally, a way to judge, is that after the child is infected with roundworms, we can check through the child's excrement, generally after the child is infected with roundworms, there will be eggs in the excrement, once we find that there are insect eggs, we must consider whether the child is infected with roundworms.
In fact, one way to judge whether the child is infected with roundworms is not right, we must gather them to see, so that we can know whether the child is infected with roundworms.
How can I avoid catching roundworms in my child?
In the past, infection with roundworms was a very common disease, but now it is relatively rare, because now everyone pays attention to hygiene, so there are fewer infections, but although it is less, it still exists.
Infected with roundworms is not good for the growth of children, so we want to avoid infecting children with roundworms, so what should we do?
(1) Do not give your child raw and cold food
If the child often eats raw and cold food, the child is easily infected with roundworms, because roundworms are actually a parasite, and he likes to plant raw and cold foods.
Once eaten by the child, it will grow, develop, and grow into a worm in the child's belly.
(2) Fruits and vegetables must be cleaned
Melons, fruits and vegetables, but also to wash clean, some parents are too lazy to wash their children, so do not wash directly eat, this is very unhygienic, not only not clean, but also easy to infect roundworms.
Therefore, whether we eat it or the child eats it, it must be cleaned.
(3) Disinfect your child's dishes and chopsticks
Usually the children's bowls and chopsticks should also be disinfected, only more disinfection, in order to avoid infection with roundworms, you can also avoid infection with any bacteria, which is very good for the child's body.
Therefore, we can usually prepare a small disinfection cabinet at home to facilitate disinfection at any time.
(4) Wash your child's hands frequently and cut their fingernails frequently
Children like to eat their hands, and once the hands are not cleaned, or when the fingernails are not clean, they are easily infected with roundworms.
Therefore, we should tell our children to wash their hands before eating, wash their hands when they go home, and wash their hands when eating snacks. As long as the child's hands are washed clean, we are not afraid that the child will eat his hands.
In addition, the child's nail seam is easy to drill into the bacteria, once not cut diligently, it is easy to hide bacteria, once the child eats the hand, it will eat the bacteria into the mouth.
The child's body is not a trivial matter, and raising a child can not listen to everyone, but to use a scientific way to raise, to avoid inappropriate practices, let the child infected with roundworms.
May every parent take good care of their children, raise their children in a scientific way, and let their children grow up healthily.
