How To Treat Pinworms In A 6 Year Old Child
My 6 year old was recently diagnosed with pinworms. She was waking frequently at night and had all the symptoms. i treated the family after the diagnosis, laundered everything. However i did not know how much of the medicine to give my then 4 month old, so i did not treat her. She is now 6 months old and i fear that she has the worms. Can you please tell me how much of the anti worm medicine she should take? Or how i can treat her for it?

Dosage of antihelmenthic is Albendazole 200mg single dose for a child less than 2 years of age in consultation with your Pediatrician.
Its also important to simultaneously treat all family members.
