In low-income countries, children can get infected with worms soon after they stop breastfeeding and may face reinfection throughout their lives. Worm infections rarely cause immediate harm but often lead to chronic conditions, negatively affecting a child’s health, nutrition, learning ability, and overall development.

Intestinal worm infections are currently common in children. The consequences of these infections include poor appetite, slow growth, malnutrition, anemia, and even death due to complications. Abdominal pain caused by worms is a typical sign that helps identify and effectively treat this condition.

Intestinal worms are parasites that live inside human bodies and can severely affect children's development, including health, nutrition, cognitive growth, and academic performance. Therefore, parents should pay attention to not only preventing worms as recommended by the Ministry of Health but also ensuring regular deworming for children.
