Can Mebendazole Syrup Be Given To A Child Having Fever?

hi, I have been started giving Mebendazole syrup for my baby (3.5 years old) yesterday and two dose is given (5 ml each dose) and doctors advised me to give such 6 doses. But from this morning my baby is suffering from fever (101-102 degree C)and he is treating with parasitamol. So should i continue giving him Mebendazole syrup?

Hi,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com.
I know that you are very concerned about your child but don’t worry.

Yes mebendazole can be given if child has fever. You should give mebendazole after 10 minutes of gicing paracetamol.

I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.

If you have any more questions, you can ask me at
