To determine whether a child has pinworms, observe whether thread-like white parasites appear in the child’s stool. Alternatively, inspect the anal area at night while the child is asleep for the presence of pinworms. If pinworm infection is confirmed, administer an appropriate anthelmintic medication to the child. Additionally, emphasize proper dietary and personal hygiene in daily life.
