Do adults need to take anthelmintics if they are attacked by intestinal parasitic diseases? In this regard, the answer given by experts is yes.
● There is the possibility of intestinal parasites at all ages.
According to Ji Aiping, deputy director of Beijing Friendship Hospital and Beijing Institute of Tropical Medicine, it is generally believed that anthelmintics are for children, so there are intestinal parasites in adults' stomachs. The answer is no, because people may suffer from intestinal parasites all their lives. Adult incidence is low, but relatively speaking.
The probability of adult suffering from intestinal parasites mainly varies with environmental hygiene and personal hygiene habits. People with good sanitation and personal hygiene conditions will have a low probability of suffering from intestinal parasites. In the same area, under the same conditions, the low incidence rate is because adults have developed certain hygiene habits, such as washing hands before and after meals and washing raw vegetables and fruits.
Adults suffer from different intestinal parasitic diseases with different clinical manifestations. Ascariasis, for example, generally manifests as periumbilical pain, urticaria, abdominal paroxysmal colic and so on. Worms can be seen directly in feces. Severe cases can be manifested as persistent abdominal pain, vomiting and so on. Such as biliary ascariasis, appendiceal ascariasis, and trichinosis, manifested as loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea or constipation alternating with diarrhea or mucus and bloody stool, which may cause general weakness and emaciation. Enterobiasis is characterized by loss of appetite, insomnia, irritability and anal pruritus; The clinical manifestations of hookworm disease can be divided into three stages: skin invasion stage: rash, lung transition stage: cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, fever and other signs similar to respiratory infection, intestinal parasitic stage: upper abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, anemia and other symptoms; Taenia solium and Taenia bovis are the most common tapeworms, which are caused by eating immature pork or beef respectively, and usually show abdominal pain, diarrhea, indigestion, overeating and so on.
Experts remind that when people have the above performance, they should go to the hospital for examination. At present, the diagnostic method in China is to check parasite eggs in feces. In areas with good sanitary conditions, it is not necessary for children to use insect repellent regularly. In areas with poor sanitary conditions and poor medical conditions, when children have the above symptoms, they can take insect repellent appropriately. If you are seriously ill, you should go to the hospital in time.
Different parasitic diseases have different treatments.
Different intestinal parasitic diseases have different treatment methods, generally oral anthelmintics. For example, Dachongqing is a broad-spectrum insect repellent, which is mainly used to treat single or mixed intestinal parasitic infections caused by roundworms, pinworms, hookworms, whipworms and strongyloides faecalis. It also has the function of killing eggs and larvae of human intestinal parasites. Because of its remarkable curative effect, convenient administration and small side effects, it has been widely used in clinic. The difference between adults and children lies only in the dosage of therapeutic drugs.
The increase in seafood intake is not directly related to the increase in the probability of intestinal parasite infection. People should not eat raw or undercooked meat such as pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks and rabbits, nor should they eat raw and undercooked freshwater fish, shrimps and snails. Only by controlling the disease can we put an end to the invasion of parasitic diseases such as Clonorchis sinensis, paragonimiasis, Trichinella spiralis, Taenia solium and Toxoplasma gondii.
Experts stressed that people should also pay attention to the details of life, pay attention to personal hygiene, and wash their hands before and after meals; Wash raw vegetables and fruits; Processing raw meat food requires special knives and chopping boards; Change underwear and dry bedding frequently. When there are abnormal symptoms and you are suspected of having parasitic diseases, you should go to the hospital in time.
