Mistakes about deworming that almost everyone makes
(Baonghean.vn) - Worms are parasites that are harmful to the human body. Regular deworming helps remove worms from the body. However, there are many mistakes in deworming, which leads to worms not being completely removed, with a high risk of reinfection. Below are some mistakes many people make when deworming.

| Many people think that children should not be dewormed. This is completely wrong. Deworming can remove worms from the child's body, creating conditions for the child to develop. When the child is over 2 years old, you can proceed with deworming. Currently, deworming medicine for children is sold widely in pharmacies, you should consult a doctor if necessary. For children under 2 years old, everything related to deworming requires the permission and supervision of a doctor. |

| Worm infection is a disease that can be transmitted from one person to another. If one member is infected with worms, the whole family is likely to be infected. Meanwhile, some families divide the deworming treatment into separate sessions for each member. This solution can only eliminate worms in each person, but it increases the risk of reinfection because other people are still infected with worms… All family members need to take deworming medicine at the same time, this will limit the possibility of infection. |

| Many families often think that taking deworming medicine must take place on an empty stomach. However, with the improvement in deworming, taking medicine now does not depend on time. You can take medicine at any time without worrying about the worms not dying. This is effective for young children, the age group that needs a lot of energy and has difficulty fasting like adults. |

| Deworming should be done every 6 months. Too long or too short a time is not good. If the time between each deworming is several years, it may not remove all the worms from the body. On the contrary, if the time is too short, the medicine can have the opposite effect on health before the worms appear. |
 |
| It is not by chance that doctors recommend that people deworm every 6 months. Everyone is at risk of reinfection with parasites, especially those who often eat raw foods, the possibility of reinfection is even higher... After taking deworming medicine, you need to maintain the habit of eating cooked food, drinking boiled water, and maintaining personal hygiene to eliminate the possibility of larval infection. In addition, taking deworming medicine still needs to be done periodically. |
