Dear XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.

You can give albendazole syrup. And repeat this course after 2 weeks. For the prescription and proper dosage, your child needs to be examined by a pediatrician.
Make sure you wash your kids hands frequently especially before feeds and every time he scratches the anal area.
