What medication should be taken for a child with roundworms in the stomach?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Children with intestinal roundworm infections can take medications such as piperazine citrate, albendazole, and mebendazole. However, these should be used under the guidance of a qualified physician. Proper care during treatment helps recovery. 1. Piperazine Citrate: Piperazine citrate works by paralyzing the muscles of roundworms, effectively treating intestinal roundworm infections. 2. Intestinal Parasite Clear (Changchong Qing): This medication is effective against various intestinal parasitic infections and can be used to treat whipworm, roundworm, pinworm, and hookworm infections. 3. Mebendazole: Mebendazole effectively eliminates Strongyloides stercoralis and can also treat tapeworm infections, whether single or mixed. It is suitable for treating infections caused by roundworms, whipworms, pinworms, and others. Seek medical attention promptly if discomfort occurs.
