About worms in children
Intestinal worms are common in children in India. The usual types are threadworms (pinworms), roundworms, hookworms and, less often, tapeworms. Children pick them up from unwashed hands, nail-biting, contaminated soil, water or food, and walking barefoot. Typical signs are itching around the anus (worse at night), restless sleep, grinding of the teeth, tummy pain, a poor or sometimes ravenous appetite, weight loss, tiredness, pallor from anaemia and sometimes worms seen in the stool. Doctors treat worms with a short course of an anti-worm medicine, usually for the whole family, and regular deworming is advised for children. Washing hands before eating and after the toilet, keeping nails short, washing bedding and wearing footwear outdoors prevent re-infection. See a doctor for severe abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, blood in the stool, marked weight loss or anaemia.
