Children may manifest bruxism if they have parasites (e.g.,worms).

Parasitic worms were endemic where I was raised. Every childhood physical included required a fecal sample for parasites. Years later, when I returned home, it struck me that I hadn't been tested for parasites in decades. Knowing what I know, I just couldn't believe I had none. So I bought some ivermectin, measured an amount proportional for my weight and slathered it on. Nothing happened that I noticed. Any parasites would almost certainly have been flushed out. Much cheaper than a doctor's visit! And I now have a 5-year supply of parasiticide!

Posts on HN report ivermectin is being tested against Covid-19 so maybe that's a plus!8-))
