General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
If your daughter had worms earlier and had been cured by vermox then it's fine.
If this happened again with same symptoms and despite taking vermox she is feeling heaviness and burning over abdomen then ,it could be recurrence of worms or acute constipation or acute gastritis.
The important thing is to diagnose first for which she would require thoroughly clinical examination by pediatrician along with routine blood,stool investigations, ultrasound of abdomen etc.
So,it would be better if you go to pediatrician and get treatment.
I find this answer helpful
