If there are parasites in a child's body, it will easily affect the child's appetite, affect the child's absorption and digestion functions, and affect the child's growth and development, so it is necessary to remove the parasites in the child's body. After the roundworms have been eliminated, the child needs to be given roundworm medicine. What should I pay attention to when taking roundworm medicine? What should you pay attention to when taking roundworm medicine?
1. The dosage should be sufficient
According to general medication experience, the dosage for children should be smaller than that for adults. However, the dosage of Changchongqing is stipulated: from children over two years old to adults, it is two tablets, which makes some parents worry when giving the medicine to children. In fact, most (95%) of Changchongqing is not absorbed by the human body after oral administration and is excreted with the feces within 24 hours. Only 5% completes the task of killing larvae in tissues, adult worms and eggs in the intestines, and is It is excreted in the urine within 48 hours. This shows that Changchongqing is a drug that is poorly absorbed and not easily accumulated in the body. Therefore, in clinical practice, a single dose is often taken once and for all, and there is no need to calculate the dose based on body weight.
2. Eat some sour foods
After children take anthelmintics, it is best to eat some sour foods, such as black plums, hawthorns, vinegar, etc., which may have better effects. Roundworms have the characteristic of "subdued when they are sour". When encountering sour foods such as ebony plums, hawthorns, vinegar, etc., the roundworms will temporarily settle down. Therefore, the acidic food itself can be regarded as a good medicine for roundworms. After children take anthelmintics, they can decoct heavy sour foods such as ebony plums and hawthorns into a thick soup, which is beneficial to the elimination of roundworms.
3. Eat more fiber and less fat foods
After taking anthelmintics, you should drink more water and eat more foods containing plant fiber. Because water and plant fiber can strengthen intestinal peristalsis, promote defecation, and promptly excrete insects killed or paralyzed by drugs together with feces. Foods high in fiber include cereals, nuts, fresh vegetables and fruits, such as celery, leeks, spinach, bananas, peaches, strawberries, etc. Eat less fatty foods, because most anthelmintic drugs are fat-soluble drugs and are only used in It plays a local therapeutic role in the intestine. For example, ingesting too many foods with high fat content will promote the absorption of anthelmintic drugs in the body, which not only increases the toxicity to the human body but also reduces the efficacy; eat less foods that are prone to "gas" , such as radish, sweet potato, beans, etc., to prevent bloating and constipation, which is not conducive to deworming. Roundworms are very harmful
Adult roundworms mostly live in the human intestines, and their eggs are excreted through the stool. Facial ascariasis can be transmitted orally after food or hands are contaminated with eggs. The eggs develop into adult worms in the intestines, which can cause a series of symptoms in children, such as abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, mild diarrhea or constipation, etc. Abdominal pain is mostly less severe and often presents as paroxysmal dull pain around or slightly above the umbilicus, which can recur but lasts indefinitely. Sometimes when a child is hungry, abdominal pain may be more obvious.
In addition, some children with intestinal ascariasis may develop mental and neurological symptoms. Such as listlessness or excitement, headache, irritability, poor sleep, teeth grinding, irritability, etc. This is caused by the metabolites or disintegration products of the insect body being absorbed into the blood. Children with severe intestinal ascariasis may also develop secondary malnutrition, anemia, developmental delay, and poor intellectual development.
