Worm Infestation

Intestinal worms are still common — itch at the anus, poor appetite, tummy ache and restless sleep.

Threadworms itch at night. Roundworms can surprise a parent in the stool. We deworm on a plan and fix the nails-and-hands habit so they do not return next month.

Understand

What we explain in clinic

Night itch

Threadworm

The child scratches the seat at night and is cranky in the morning.

Appetite

Feel

A full tummy of gas and a child who still looks thin.

See a worm

Proof

A worm in stool is enough reason to treat the household, not only the child.

Nails

Habit

Short nails, morning bath, and handwash beat a monthly random tablet.

Evaluation

What we look for

Who else?

House

We often treat the family together for threadworm.

Growth

Look

Heavy loads can contribute to anaemia and a flat curve.

Repeat

Plan

A second dose is sometimes needed. We write the date, not ‘sometime’.

School

Hygiene

No sharing of underclothes; wash bedding in hot water when we advise.

At Grace Clinic

How care is planned

01

Listen first

We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.

02

Examine & chart

Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.

03

Treat & follow

A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.

When to book

Come in if you see worms, the child is losing weight, or there is a cough with a known heavy infestation.
