Quick tips

  • Do not share your child’s medicines with others and do not give anyone else’s medicine to your child.
  • Worm infections are easily spread between family members. Your doctor may recommend treatment for all family members on the same day, whether or not they have any symptoms of infection.
  • Some self-care tips:
    1. Do not give raw or undercooked food to your child. Always give a balanced diet, containing herbs, fruits, and spices of therapeutic value.
    2. Encourage your child to wash their hands with soap and water every time they use the toilet as that will help prevent cross-infection.
    3. Trim your child’s nails frequently to disable any source of worm infection.
    4. Maintain a neat space and hygiene around your child.
  • Call your child’s doctor right away if the child exhibits signs of allergic reaction like rash, itching, or any other sign of infection such as fever, gum-bleeding, black or red stools, and blood in urine or vomit.
  • This medicine is known to elevate the levels of liver enzymes. So, do not delay connecting with your child’s doctor in case your child exhibits any signs of a liver problem like dark urine, tiredness, upset stomach, light-colored stools, or yellow skin or eyes.
