Brief Answer:
Deworming medication in prescribed dose.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Itching around anus especially during the night is suggestive of worms infection.

The child needs a Deworming medication like Albendazole in prescribed dose.

And keep his hands clean by washing especially before food and after toilet.

Therefore I suggest you to consult the Pediatrician for the prescription of a Deworming syrup for the child.

Hope I have answered your query.

If you have any clarification please let me know.

Regards.
