Parasite In My Little Daughter

Possible parasite in my little daughter...

My daughter is 16 months old and I am concerned about her health. I would like to know how do I recognize if she has "parasite?"

What are the symptoms and the treatment to get rid of "parasite" from my daughter's body?

How is the activities if my baby has "parasite?"
What are the symptoms?

Please advice........

Hi Seema,

Your question is a difficult one to answer. The symptoms of parasites vary greatly because there are so many different types of parasites to consider.

Also, what may be a parasite symptom could also be the symptom of something else entirely.

What makes you think there is a parasite in your little daughter? Is she experiencing a lot of diarrhea? Constipation? Bloating? Rashes?

Those are the most obvious and common signs of intestinal parasites. A yeast infection is also a type of parasite problem and that may result in a chalky white appearance on the tongue (usually called thrush) and possibly even sores.

If you would like to give me more specific details, I can try to help a little better.

The truth is, most people have parasites of some type in their body. Our immune system helps to keep them under control so that we don't develop uncomfortable symptoms.

If our immune system is weak or unable to cope, that's when we start to get sick and notice parasite symptoms.

Do you breast feed your baby still? This can be very helpful in improving her immune system so that she can fight off infection naturally.

If you are able to locate some good organic yogurt in your area, try giving her some of that. Good yogurt that doesn't have added sugar in it, contains healthy and friendly bacteria that also helps with digestion and boosts the immune system.

If it's constipation that your daughter is experiencing, be sure she is drinking enough water. Lack of water intake is one of the most common causes of constipation in people of all ages.

Again, it's hard for me to advise you without more details on what your daughter is experiencing, but if you'd like to give me more information, I'll try to be more specific.

Blessings,
Angie

about my daughter

Dear Angie,
Thank you very much for your response and showing concerned about my queries.

since my daughter is 16 months old, she also has constipation problems for long time. i couldn't be sure about the parasite in her.

i actually wanted to be sure with the signs and symptoms about the parasites in children...

if the baby has parasites what is the common signs and symptoms they show?

As i have heard from my elders........digging nose frequently is also the signs of parasite in baby..........is it true? since my baby frequently does dig nose.....

thank you

Digging Nose Parasite Sign
by: Angie

Hi Seema,

I don't know for sure if digging the nose is a sign of parasites in babies. It may be that your daughter is getting too much sugar in her diet and that is causing that symptom.

What does your daughter eat and drink? Does she get enough good clean water to drink? Are you breast feeding? I'm not familiar with the standard diet in Nepal, so I'm only guessing based on my knowledge of the typical American and Australian diets.

As I stated earlier, the symptoms of parasites are many and varied. The most common symptoms are...

watery diarrhea
upset stomach
fever
lethargy and fatigue
gas
bloating
constipation
itching skin, especially the bottom or vagina
white coated tongue

Getting good bacteria in her body is one of the best things you can do to help fight against any parasite in your little daughter.

I'm not sure if you can get Florafood in Nepal, but try to locate some probiotics like acidophilus and mix it in some food for her every day.

I hesitate to recommend too many herbs for infants because the amount that is safe for use varies and I don't want to advise you on that. If you have a natural health doctor in your area, perhaps you can ask him/her about the use of wormwood, black walnut hull, and clove as a parasite remedy and if a small dose would be safe.

Something else that is natural and may be helpful is garlic. Garlic is antiparasitic and may be sufficient for her if you can add a small amount to her food (if she'll eat it).

For the constipation, you can try mixing some chia seeds in her food (cereal, mashed banana, etc.) to help her bowels to move better. This is the same grain as Salba and contains the essential fatty acids that the body needs called Omega 3.

Sorry I can't be of more help. I hope that one of these suggestions may work for you and her.

Blessings,
Angie
