Do Sacs In Diaper Indicate Worms?

I just changed my 10.5 month olds diaper and found something that looked like the sacs of juice in an orange. He hasn t eaten an orange in weeks. He is currently on antibiotics for bronchitis. Should I be worried about these sacs? Could they be worms?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much. You may easily exclude it by giving stool analysis for ova and cysts.If test were positive i would prescribe Albendazole syrup-Zibend 5 ml once time. The other possibility is undigested food due antibiotic therapy. In this case you can use probiotics- babylac for 1 month.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you and baby good health.
