One of the most common signs associated with a worm (parasite) problem is teeth grinding and drooling. Clenching the teeth especially at night, unexplained restlessness and increased salivation may point to this condition.
These signs can stem not from a single cause but from various problems: parasitic infections, gastrointestinal diseases, Helicobacter pylori infection, complications of various infections, urinary tract infections.
The most critical point is that these symptoms are very similar to each other. Making an assumptive diagnosis is a serious mistake. One of the most common mistakes parents make is taking complaints lightly or starting self-treatment at home. This approach causes the disease to progress hidden.
If you notice such complaints in your child, consult a doctor without delay for examination and proper differential diagnosis.
