DEWORMING IN KIDS- Importance & how frequently?

"Deworming is a process of getting your intestinal worms killed. Children are more at risk for intestinal warms because of their play activities they may play with bare hands and bare feet especially bare feet. Soil will be contaminated most of the times they may come in contact with toys which are contaminated or they may come in contact with fruits and vegetables which are contaminated with soil and are not cleaned properly. So through the mouth these intestinal worms and these eggs will reach the intestines they will live as parasites. So if these intestinal worms are left untreated most of the children will get diarrhea malnutrition and anemia. So deworming that is killing of intestinal worms is a necessary treatment for children. We ideally recommend deworming at least every 6 months. But at least once a year is recommended for all children"
