Folk remedies for pinworms in children

Pinworms in a child - the problem is quite common. These parasites are more common in children than in adults. And because children have to take an analysis of eggs for worm quite often, when they enter a kindergarten or school, when drawing up documents in a country camp.

It is possible to treat a baby in this situation with both quite familiar pharmacy pills and folk remedies, which also show high efficacy against intestinal parasites. About them, we tested on dozens of generations of children, we will talk with you today.

The common opinion that a child can become infected with pinworms from animals is not true, because this type of parasite does not live in the body of animals. Worms in our younger brothers, of course, are found, but others. After all pinworms are just a type of parasite under the name "worms".

If the baby analysis showed the presence of pinworms, we are talking about the disease, which in the language of official medicine is called "enterobiasis". Guess the presence of parasites attentive parents can and prior to laboratory tests.

The kid, in the intestines of which such worms have settled, often suffers from various abdominal pains, it happens more often diarrheanausea, suffers appetite. White worms can be found in fecal masses, and at the advanced stage of enterobiosis and blood impurities.

If pinworms cannot be managed in time, very negative consequences can occur for the child:

• The development of intestinal dysbiosis.
• Infected inflammation of the scratching area in the anus or perineum.
• Disorders of the nervous system.
• Diseases of the stomach - gastritis, gastroduodenitis.
• Inflammation of the appendix and the next acute period - appendicitisrequiring only surgical intervention.

You can not treat pinworms folk remedies for infants. For the smallest, there are benign medical preparations that the doctor must prescribe.

There are modern medicines that are effective and safe. Be sure the child needs to show the doctor and consult with him. People also use the following means.

• Fairly effective enemas with garlic. For them, 1.5 liters of water, take a head of garlic (6-7 cloves). Pour and insist the product for 8 hours, then get the enema twice a day for 5-6 days.
• Carrot milk. Boil carrots grated on a fine grater in a liter of milk, let the mixture boil for half an hour. Then cool what happened and let the child drink the drink every day for four days. A single dose - about a glass, drink this medicine should be on an empty stomach, at least an hour before meals.Such a tool should not be given to children up to three years, because they can not drink the right amount of carrot milk, and less doses will be less effective.
• Pickled Cabbage Pickle parasites also do not like. Cabbage should be fermented no later than 30 days ago, only in this case, its brine will have the maximum cured properties. You can give it from the age of seven to half a glass twice a day after meals. This should be done throughout the week.
• Pumpkin seeds Treatment with their help should not be carried out for small children, this method is more suitable for children of 12 years and older. It is necessary in the morning on an empty stomach to give the child about a hundred peeled seeds. Forty minutes after the child eats them, they give him any laxative allowed by age. The worms will come out almost in full, but for sure it is better to repeat eating the pumpkin seeds in the same amount in exactly one week.
• Warm sessile baths. Pinworms are very fond of a warm environment, so it's a sin not to use it. Make a sit-bath for the night before going to bed, so that only the baby's bottom can be lowered into it. Parasites will definitely be directed towards the source of heat, and come out of the rectum into the water. You can see them at the bottom of the basin, when they pour out water. The duration of such a procedure is a little over a quarter of an hour. Then the anus of the child must be washed with soap and water. Sit baths should be done during the week. The disadvantage of such treatment in the absence of confidence that all the pinworms came out. If even a few individuals remain, the enterobiasis will begin anew.
• Herbal enemas. For the preparation of such a procedure will need pharmacy fees wormwood and celandine. 50 gr. Each raw mix and pour 0.5 liters of warm boiled water. Let stand for about half an hour, then put on the fire and boil for three minutes, then the broth should be drained and cooled. Enemas do extremely warm decoction (reheat as needed) for one and a half weeks. An important detail - the procedure should be carried out immediately after the act of defecation.
• Enemas with saline. A teaspoon of salt per cup of boiled water - these are the proportions of the solution for washing the rectum. The procedure should be repeated up to 4 times a day for two days. The process is not pleasant, so you should not do such an enema too young children, especially newborns and nursing babies. From salt pinworms die, the body will lead them to the outside during bowel movements.
• Tar soap. This hygienic tool does not have a pleasant smell, but is of great health value. To solve the problem of pinworms with its help for a long time (about one and a half months), but very effective. It is enough just to wash the child twice a day with such soap and after each procedure change underwear. Due to the prolonged action, tar soap is better to use for prevention.

On the Internet, many “experienced” people advise treating pinworms with alcohol or vodka. Yes, alcohol acts on the parasites destructively and instantly, but this method is not suitable for children. Do not give the child to drink even divorced alcoholic infusions. Enemas with such solutions are also contraindicated, since alcohol is absorbed even faster into the body through the rectal walls.

If the child has confirmed pinworms, all family members without exception should be treated.. Indeed, in everyday life, these parasites are transmitted quite easily, and their incubation period is about 2 weeks. In order not to treat each family member in turn several times, in one fell swoop you need to cope with the problem all together.
