Running worm-child

Roundworms are common in children, especially in preschool age. The most common symptom is itching in the butt. Since worms and eggs are spread through the air, it is easy to get infected even as an adult. 

Our doctors can help you and your child with advice and information, assessment and treatment. 

If your child is lethargic and difficult to communicate with or if you otherwise suspect an acute illness, contact the nearest emergency department.
