What Could Greyish Looking Thing Like Worm In Bowel Movement Indicate?
Hello, my 3 year old son has had a bowel movement on the potty and floating in the accompanying urine, I noticed a greyish thing looking like linguini in width and height. Approx size: length : 15 cm, width: 5 mm, height: 1 mm. (can provide picture upon request) Could this be a worm? I have kept it in a jar with water, if I need to show it to a doctor on Monday (no clinic opened Sunday) would it be preserved long enough to allow for examination? Thank you

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having round worm infestation producing one round worm passing.
There are all chances of having more worms in bowel and might come out.
Consult your doctor and show this thing.
Afterwards he might require one course of anti-worm course like Albneazole syrup.
Ok and take care.
