1. **Consult a Pediatrician**: Confirm the type of worms with a healthcare provider. They can prescribe appropriate deworming medication and provide guidance on frequency.
2. **Follow a Deworming Schedule**: If recommended by your doctor, administer deworming medication according to their advice. Deworming every 6-12 months is often advised, but the exact frequency depends on your child's health and risk factors.
3. **Maintain Hygiene**:
- **Handwashing**: Ensure your child washes their hands regularly with soap and water, especially before eating and after using the toilet.
- **Nail Care**: Keep your child’s nails trimmed and clean.
4. **Clean Living Environment**:
- **Laundry**: Wash bed linens, towels, and clothing regularly in hot water.
- **Toilet Hygiene**: Ensure that toilets are cleaned regularly.
5. **Safe Food and Water**:
- **Food Preparation**: Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before consumption.
- **Safe Drinking Water**: Ensure access to clean, safe drinking water.
6. **Avoid Contact with Contaminated Soil**: Encourage your child to avoid walking barefoot in areas where soil may be contaminated with fecal matter.
If the problem persists or worsens, consult your pediatrician for further evaluation and treatment.
