Modern realities are such that these or those parasites live in organisms of 95 (! )% Of the population of our planet. At the moment, about 2, 000 worms of various sizes are known that can inhabit the human body. There is an opinion that helminths supposedly live exclusively in the digestive system. In fact, this is not the case. They are also able to "take a liking" to other organs (lungs, liver, brain) or even dwell in the blood. It is very important to understand that any helminth can cause serious damage to health, therefore, it is necessary to take extremely responsible attitude to their prevention and treatment.

The best parasite remedies for children
Children are the most sensitive and vulnerable to helminth infection. It is important to understand that the complex of therapeutic measures for each type of helminth is different. Therefore, drugs should be bought and used only after examination by a pediatrician and finding out the exact type of helminth that has settled in the child's body.
The course of therapy consists of several stages, in the course of which you will need to take anthelmintic and antihistamines, enterosorbents, enzymes, hepatoprotectors and vitamins.
The most popular among children are products in the form of a suspension. They taste good and are easy enough to take. However, they are also prescribed exclusively by the attending physician. Self-medication is prohibited by them.
We emphasize that self-treatment of helminthiasis is categorically not recommended! Be sure to consult a doctor and undergo special examinations in order to determine for certain the exact type of helminth and get the most effective recommendations for its elimination.
If a family member is ill, the entire family must be treated, including pets, if any. Anthelmintic therapy begins with preparation, which consists in the use of drugs aimed at cleansing the body of the products of the vital activity of helminths. These include flaxseed oil.
There are also anthelmintic drugs in the form of suppositories. With their help, it will be possible to eliminate worms in a short period of time. The speed of action of suppositories is due to the fact that their active component immediately enters the intestines. Another plus of the drug is its safety. The candle contains only natural ingredients. Therefore, it can be used by children and pregnant women.
The recommended treatment period is 5 days. You need to put them at night, having previously emptied the intestines. The candle should be cooled, as it is much easier to insert in this form.
Of course, the drug that the attending physician prescribes will have the greatest effect. As a preventive measure, it is worth drinking freshly squeezed carrot juice. It is completely safe, but at the same time very effective anthelmintic. If the child likes the juice, let him drink as much as he wants. If not, force them to drink 100 grams of juice a day.
In addition to the main ones, there are very effective aids that will help enhance the effect of therapy:
- Enema with milk and garlic. Chopped garlic clove is added to hot milk. When the mixture has cooled, it can be added to the enema. As a rule, after applying such an enema, the worms disappear. You can fix the result by repeating the procedure after 35 days;
- Sagebrush. Take 1 teaspoon of the herb of the plant and pour in half a liter of boiling water. After the broth is infused and cooled, it must be taken two teaspoons three times a day before meals;
- Infusion of pomegranate. Pour the chopped pomegranate peel with a glass of boiling water. The patient should be given half a teaspoon three times a day;
- Bulb onions. The remedy is effective against pinworms. You need to fill in 1 tbsp. boiling water, one chopped medium onion. The mixture must be allowed to brew for 12 hours. The patient should drink half a glass of the drug once a day for three days;
- Infusion of birch. It is necessary to mix crushed birch buds with 200 ml of boiling water. The infusion is taken half a glass twice a day. In addition to anthelmintic, it also has a general strengthening effect.
It is important to note that all of the above products are not 100% guaranteed. However, they will not harm your health. Therefore, they still need to be taken, but only as an auxiliary therapy in addition to the main drug treatment.
Remedies for parasites during pregnancy
Some pregnant women, having found worms in their bodies, treat them condescendingly. They either do not try to get rid of them at all, or they self-medicate. As a rule, this approach turns into serious problems.
We definitely do not recommend doing this. You should think not only about yourself, but also about the health of the unborn child. The best way to eliminate worms is to prevent them from entering. To do this, during pregnancy, it is better for a woman to reduce the likelihood of contact with pets to a minimum.
Today, you can buy anthelmintic drugs for pregnant women at any pharmacy. However, the choice of the most suitable one must be entrusted to the attending physician.
Before prescribing a course of therapy, you need to undergo a special examination aimed at identifying a specific type of parasite. It is on the basis of the results of these analyzes that a complex of drugs is formed.
In the case of pregnant women, the form of treatment and the dosage of tablets are formed based on the duration of pregnancy. Choosing a dosage is a very crucial step, since a mistake can harm an unborn child.
If you take the pills without observing the measure, a miscarriage may occur. Worms pose the greatest danger to the fetus in the first trimester of pregnancy.
You can reduce the likelihood of negative effects on the body if you use the following folk remedies:
- Pumpkin seeds. It is necessary to use two tablespoons in the morning and in the evening;
- Beet juice. It is taken in a volume equal to a tablespoon in the morning before meals;
- Fresh pomegranate. A prerequisite: it must be prepared right before taking it;
- Ripe watermelon. It is important not to consume too much of it so as not to overload the kidneys;
- Onion and garlic. They not only fight worms, but also strengthen the immune system.
The best way to prevent parasites
According to the research results, it was found that the best period for carrying out preventive measures to identify worms is early spring and late autumn. This is explained by the fact that it is at this time that the body's immune system is weakest, which is why the chances of invasion reach the maximum possible values. As in the case of treatment, drugs for prevention are also prescribed only by the attending physician. This requirement cannot be neglected.
In terms of its effectiveness, the intake of drugs prescribed by a specialist is 60% higher than monoprophylaxis. Prevention is boldly recommended to all people associated with agriculture, the fishing industry and other areas of activity that pose a threat of infection.
Some experts question the feasibility of prophylaxis with the use of synthetic medicines. After all, using medicines today, you can easily become infected with helminths tomorrow.
Therefore, instead of using pills, or at the same time, the following basic rules should be observed, which will significantly increase the effectiveness of prevention:
- wash your hands after using the toilet and before eating;
- use soap with an antiseptic effect if pets live in the house;
- subject fish and meat to serious heat treatment;
- adhere to the rules of intimate hygiene.
Other experts believe that regular attendance at kindergarten or school is a guarantee of constant infection of the child due to constant contact with other children. And for this reason, it is recommended to give the child a universal anthelmintic drug once every 6 months. Nevertheless, all doctors agree on one thing - the independent use of drugs is extremely dangerous to health.
