What Could Caterpillar Like Worm In Stool Indicate?
Hello, my 3 year old toddler just had a bowel movement. We noticed in the toilet something that looked like a 3/4 inch long catapillar x half an inch wide...white with black spots evenly distributed. It s hard to tell but looked like it had two antennas. He may have ate something (plastic or other) but does ring a bell regarding potential parasites? It doesn t look like a tapeworm. Thanks

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Toddler is having worm infestation. Consult a doctor for deworming medicine Albendazole. Don't allow toddler to walk barefoot. Take care of personal hygiene. Use RO filtered drinking water.
