It would be desirable that, for the prevention of such a serious disease as infection with various types of worms, one did not have to monitor his baby daily, the state of the dishes from which he eats, the state of the floor on which he plays. I drank a pill - and the disease passed by. But, unfortunately, the prevention of worm infants in children - the event is long and complex. In turn, all anthelmintic drugs have a serious toxic effect on the body, and therefore their uncontrolled use can lead to disastrous consequences.
Medicines for the prevention of helminths
Let's consider some features of the application of the most popular antihelminthic drugs - vormil and vermox. Both with the use of the drug fed, and when using the drug Vermox in children, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain are often observed. In children who are prone to allergic reactions, there are rashes. The child becomes listless, complains of headaches.
We have considered only the main side-effects of the most popular antihelminthic drugs, in fact, this list is even longer. Therefore, prevention and self-treatment of helminthic invasion without prior consultation of a doctor is not permissible. However, if the drug is prescribed, always use a sorbent and an enzyme preparation together with an antihelminthic drug. The first will help remove the remnants of helminths from the body and all the toxic substances that poison your child, the second - restore the microflora in the intestines, disturbed by the use of anthelmintic drugs. In addition, during the treatment a protein-free diet is shown. Avoiding meat and dairy products, you will help the body to cope with helminths faster.
On hygiene: prevention of infection with worms
If not through the use of anthelmintic drugs, then how to prevent prophylaxis from worms? Only by traditional means, which should become a part of your daily routine.
Fundamental rules:
- Avoid contact with unfamiliar animals;
- Give anthelmintic preparations to your pets;
- wash vegetables and fruits thoroughly before use;
- make sure that the child washed his hands before eating and after walking, did not pull his hands into his mouth during the game;
- boil baby underwear or wash it at the highest possible temperature.
Traditional methods of treatment
There are also ways to prevent worms with folk remedies. The most popular of them is the use of pumpkin seeds. On an empty stomach, offer the child to eat two tablespoons of seeds. Give a drink a laxative drug or a couple of spoons of quality vegetable oil (which will also act as a laxative). Of course, no harm to pumpkin seeds to a healthy child will not cause. However, if the child is allergic to pumpkin - this is not his means.
Children suffering from helminthiosis, can be given on an empty stomach carrot juice from fresh carrots. Connect it to honey or sugar and give 1-2 tablespoons. l. twice a day. Be careful, however, because fresh juice is a very strong remedy, if the dose is too great for the baby, it can cause dizziness and even fainting.
Traditional medicine also knows how to get rid of worms by using infusions on onions and garlic, however, since these drugs contain a large number of flavonoids, the unformed digestive system of the baby may not cope with the use of such drugs. Therefore, before experimenting with traditional means, we recommend that you consult a child with a doctor.
