What do worms look like in the feces of a child( photo)?
This question interests all young parents, it is not a secret that infecting young children, whether it is a baby or an older child, occurs much more often than in an adult, but specific signs of invasion may not appear for a long time. The most common worms, which are often without special adaptations visible in the feces of babies, are ascarids and pinworms. That's why parents need to know how they look in the feces in the photo. This will help not miss their exit from the child and take appropriate measures to destroy them in order to timely prevent the occurrence of irreversible effects in his body.
Often, parents are also interested in the question of what color worms are in the feces of a child, whether they move or go dead, look very small, or have average dimensions. In order to understand this, you should see a photo or video capturing this topic. Most often parasites that come out with a stool from the human body are white and small in size, but it also happens that red or black strips are found in the feces of the baby. Young mothers are very frightened by this situation, but the point here is this:
- Black strings that appeared in the feces of the baby and taken by parents for worms are not such. All helminths have only whitish or yellowish colors. Black streaks in the stool of a small child indicate that bananas were introduced to him. Any person has such a reaction to these fruits, especially if they are used in excessive amounts;
- Thin streaks in the feces of the child, looking like worms and having red hues, are much more disturbing than black ones. They testify that the feces of the baby may contain impurities of blood. This is why if red shades are seen in the feces of a person, it is necessary to urgently consult a specialist to determine the cause of this phenomenon.

That is why it is necessary to study the feces of the child more often, in order to notice in time that something suspicious has appeared in them. Usually young mothers ask a question about how to see worms in the stool. Usually this happens when the kid's feces are visually examined. In the case of invasion, one or more active parasites that look active may be present in them. This can be both pinworms and ascarids. They differ only in size.
But it is easier to regularly give tests of feces or scrapes to enterobiosis, which will help to determine the worm infestation in time. Also, the presence of this misfortune in a child is easy to guess on the indirect symptoms, which are increased salivation, constant nausea and vomiting, increased or decreased appetite, tenderness in the abdomen or upset of the stool. Any of these symptoms may suggest that infection has occurred and worms may appear in the stool after a few days.
