Should I Be Worried About The Worms Found In Grandson's Stool?
hi Dr. Thank you. My daughter just showed me a cellphone picture of a small brown worm found in my grandson's diaper. He is 2 years old. She said the worm was moving. It appeared to be about 1/4 inch long. They have no pets, but he is in daycare. Concerned about worms in the stool.
