Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I think m 16 month old daughter has worms, can I buy her any medication over the counter to help . I know that if I call our gps tomorrow for a appointment she won t be classed as an emergency so probably won t get seen. I don t wan to leave it too long so the problem gets worse.
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. For worm infestation of your daughter of 16 months, it is better to consult Pediatrician and take proper advise than taking over the counter drugs. It is better to be evaluated by Pediatrician and prescribed by appropriate drug as well as dose for her. Kindly do so. All the best.
