A. during worm infestation the child will have loss of appetite. there will be iron deficiency anaemia as well as weight loss. the weight and height of the child is not improving in last few months. the child will have intermittent and recurrent abdominal zpain. at the end your doctor will decide whether the child will need worms medicine or not. z

A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Deworming medicine needs to be given routinely to every child after one year of age and the dose is 200 mg of albendazole once at night time and then repeat the same dose after 14 dguays once this cycle should be repeated every six months at least till 5 year of age but it is advisable to give this medicine only after taking guidance by your doctor Thanks and take care
