Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for asking on this platform

I don't recommend regular deworming if child is not of lower socioeconomic group, growing well,there is no anemia or symptoms suggestive of worm infestation(like perianal itching).
I don't see any need of deworming in your son.

Hope this helps.
I shall be glad to help if you need any.
