HI
Well come to HCM
Let me tell you something first it should be confirmed worm infestation, either with clinical symptoms or with investigation report, one more thing dosage goes on changing according to parasites detected so this medicine can not be given blindly without knowing the species of parasites, you need to see the paediatrician to get it confirmed and not advisable to use this drug without any indication, take care.
