Home Remedies for Worm Infection in Children

Home Remedies: Stomach worms are a common problem in children and can affect their overall growth and nutrition. Symptoms like stomach pain, poor appetite, diarrhea, itching around the anus, irritability, and teeth grinding during sleep may indicate a worm infection. Along with medical treatment, some safe home remedies may help support digestive health and reduce discomfort.

If left untreated, intestinal worms can absorb essential nutrients from a child’s body, leading to weakness and frequent illness. Along with proper hygiene and medical advice, the following traditional home remedies are commonly used to support gut health:

**Raw Garlic: Chewing 2–3 small garlic cloves on an empty stomach in the morning may help improve digestion and support the body’s natural defense against parasites.**

**Drinking warm milk with half a teaspoon of turmeric at night is traditionally believed to support gut health due to turmeric’s natural antibacterial properties.**

**This combination is commonly used in households to aid digestion and may help reduce intestinal discomfort linked to worms.**
