worm infestation :
A worm infestation is a digestive problem that is more common in children than adults. It involves a proliferation of worms or parasites in the intestines. These parasites enter the body via undercooked food. However, they can also enter the body via contact with pets, drinking contaminated water, and not washing hands before eating.
Worm infestations usually occur due to parasites such as ascaris, tapeworms and hookworms. The symptoms of such infestations include vomiting, bloating, nausea, loose stools, abdominal pain and white patches over the cheeks. The diagnosis of worm infestations usually involves blood tests, stool tests and ultrasound scans. The treatment of worm infestations depends on the underlying cause. In many cases, doctors treat these infestations by prescribing antibiotics and anti-parasitic medications. Doctors also suggest corrective actions such as drinking clean water, eating well-cooked food, and washing hands regularly.
