Is bedwetting linked to a worm infestation in children?

Question

Hello doctor,

My daughter is 4 years and 3 months old. Nowadays, we are seeing that she is wetting her bed. We checked urine RE. Everything shows normal. However we find that a tiny white worm is dancing in her stool and urine although after a regular checkup, she has taken syrup Zentel (2 teaspoons). Please advise what should she take at this moment. Please help.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concerns.

These worms are due to worm infestation in the intestine and as a result, when they come from the anal region, they probably crawl to the vaginal area, and that is why you are seeing worms in the urine too. You need to give Bandy plus syrup (Albendazole and Ivermectin) two teaspoons once at night before sleep today and repeat it after one week to treat the worm infestation.

Kindly do stool routine microscopy and culture test also. For bedwetting, she is still small, you have to wait for some time.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thank you.

This is a fungal infection of the skin. Apply Zole-F (Fluocinolone acetonide and Miconazole) cream locally application two times a day for five days.
