How to Deworm Children?

If a child has a severe parasitic infection, in their daily diet, they can consume foods that have anthelmintic effects, such as raw pumpkin seeds, betel nuts, and dark-colored plums.

1. Raw pumpkin seeds are very common in our daily lives. When our child is diagnosed with a parasitic infection, we can give them raw pumpkin seeds for deworming treatment. Depending on their age, we can take about 6 to 15g of raw pumpkin seeds, crush them, and give them to the child to eat. Raw pumpkin seeds have a good effect on removing roundworms from a child's stomach.

2. When a child has tapeworms in their stomach, we can use betel nuts for deworming treatment. Depending on the child's age, we can take an appropriate amount of betel nuts and decoct them in water. When administering the decoction, we can add an appropriate amount of sugar. Betel nut decoction has a certain effect on removing tapeworms.

3. When a child has roundworms in their stomach, they can also use dark-colored plums for deworming treatment. Dark-colored plums also have a certain effect on removing roundworms from the body. When deworming children, we can use dark-colored plum decoction with modifications and give it to the child in appropriate dosages based on their age.

1. If you want to know if a child needs deworming, you can observe their usual behavior. If they experience poor appetite or overeating, wake up unexpectedly during sleep, etc., this may indicate that the child has roundworms in their stomach.

2. Additionally, pay attention to whether the child eats strange things such as stones or paper towels. If the child's mental state is not good, this may also indicate the presence of roundworms in their stomach.

3. If a child complains of persistent itching in their buttocks, parents can check their stool for the presence of small worms. Alternatively, they can also check the child's anus at night, as the presence of roundworms may be evident by the appearance of worms.
