Pediatric Intestinal Parasites

Pediatric intestinal parasites are tiny organisms, like worms or protozoa, that can infect children’s digestive systems. These parasites often spread through contaminated food, water, or poor hygiene practices. Symptoms can include stomach pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and weight loss. While some infections may cause mild discomfort, others can lead to more serious health issues, affecting a child's growth and development. Prevention focuses on good hygiene, safe food practices, and proper sanitation. If an infection is suspected, medical treatment is available to eliminate the parasites and help ensure the child’s health and well-being.
