hi docter good morning . my son Jovan is 8 years has got worm I had given him bentex last week . but then to he is getting itching

A. If your son Jovan is still experiencing itching after taking Bentex (or any anti-worm medication), here are a few steps you can take: 1. **Follow-Up Treatment:** Sometimes a single dose of medication may not be sufficient, or it might need to be repeated. Consult your healthcare provider to see if a follow-up dose is necessary or if a different treatment is required. 2. **Consult a Doctor:** If itching persists, it’s important to follow up with a healthcare professional. They can determine if the worm infection is still present or if there might be another cause for the itching. 3. **Check for Secondary Infections:** Persistent itching might be due to secondary infections or skin irritation. A doctor can examine for any other conditions that might need treatment. 4. **Hygiene Measures:** Ensure good hygiene practices to prevent re-infection or spread. This includes washing hands frequently, keeping fingernails trimmed, and maintaining cleanliness in the living environment. 5. **Allergy or Skin Care:** Consider if the itching could be related to an allergy or skin sensitivity. Your doctor might recommend an antihistamine or topical cream to manage itching. 6. **Evaluate Symptoms:** Keep track of any additional symptoms and report them to the doctor to help with diagnosis and treatment. Consulting with a healthcare provider will help determine the appropriate next steps and ensure effective treatment for Jovan’s condition.
