Helminthiasis is one of the most unpleasant and despicable diseases. Parasites live in the human body, poison the body and cause chronic diseases. You can get sick for years without knowing it - this stage of helminthiasis is called an erased course.

Since it is unlikely to completely prevent the entry of worms into the body, it is necessary to know the symptoms they cause, not only in childhood, but also in adulthood.

Intestine

The gastrointestinal tract is the main residence of the parasite, although it can spread to any internal organ.

   • The eyelids swell like boils.
   • The patient feels something move in the eye.

Many signs of infection are common to most tapeworms or tapeworms. After identifying the main consequences, it is worth turning to identifying specific types of parasites for effective treatment with appropriate medications. Possible symptoms of helminthiasis:

• A rash on the skin is one of the main signs of parasitic invasion. It can be common acne, chiria, papilloma, urticaria or eczema spots.
• Chronic cough does not go away after taking antibiotics and expectorants.
• Decreased immunity does not allow the patient to get out of the constant cold.
• The movement of worms in the body causes severe pain in the joints.
• Blockage by large helminths of the rectum, pancreas and gallbladder is expressed in constipation and bloating.
• Increased nerve activity causes teeth to grind.
• Problems with the work of the gastrointestinal tract cause irritation.
• Inflammation of the upper respiratory tract is accompanied by runny nose, pneumonia and other diseases. Especially such symptoms are characteristic for diseases with strongyloidiasis (intestinal acne) and ascariasis (ringworm).
• Metabolic disorders and poisoning by the products of worm activity cause a state of chronic depression.

Symptoms will allow an experienced therapist to distinguish parasitic attacks from diseases that have similar signs. During the active phase of reproduction, the diagnosis is clarified with the help of tests.

Symptoms of infection in children

Helminths are very dangerous for young representatives of mankind. Detecting parasites in children in time is important for their healthy development. Sometimes the signs of worms in a child’s body seem quite harmless, so parents should be careful.

• If the baby snores in his sleep and sleeps soundly, you should think about the presence of cream worms in the fragile body. They affect brain tissue, causing nerve reactions.
• General and local manifestations of allergic reactions are also characteristic of aggression. Giardia causes the following common reactions: cracked nails, bronchial asthma, rhinitis. Local reactions are in symptoms such as: itchy skin, tuberculosis and asthma cramps.
• Consequences of a weakened immune system in children are inflammation of the paranasal sinuses (sinusitis), lesions of the oral mucosa (stomatitis), inflammatory processes in the female organs (vulvovaginitis), and bacterial vaginosis.
• Ascariasis and diphyllobothriasis (broad tapeworms) cause aggression and irritation in children. This occurs due to brain poisoning with helminth residues.
• Hormones produced by certain types of parasitic worms cause malabsorption of fluid in the gastrointestinal tract. This leads to stool disorders and diarrhea.

If a person has worms, what symptoms can be detected regardless of age? From depression and allergies to serious diseases of internal organs, disorders of the brain and nervous system.Children are particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of parasites.In infants, chronic poisoning with toxic waste products of various worms causes mental disorders and developmental delay.

The first symptom should be a worrying signal of the need for immediate diagnosis and proper treatment for a predetermined disease. After removing the body from the presence of helminths in a timely manner, the patient will soon recover and restore the joy of life.

Timely medical consultation will help determine the right type of helminths, which will prescribe effective treatment procedures accurately.
