He was so frightened that he rushed to the hospital for treatment. Physicians reminded that mosquitoes and flies multiply in summer and autumn, and parents must pay attention to environmental hygiene.
According to the Lu media “Shaanshi News” report, the child’s father revealed that he found that the child had been rubbing his eyes for about 20 days. He felt weird, so he opened his eyes and found a white thing. A white nematode rushed the child to the hospital; the report showed that it was a conjunctival sucking nematode. Fortunately, the worm only moved on the surface of the eye and did not invade the eye.
The doctor said that there is still one in the child’s eye, and it will be removed soon, and the child will be fine after treatment; the doctor reminds that summer and autumn mosquitoes and flies multiply, which is a high incidence of ocular parasite transmission and infection. Parents must pay attention to environmental hygiene.
