Does Zental Taken For Intestinal Worms Cause Fever?
HI doctor, I hope you are well? Last night I gave both my 4 year old and my 2 year old Zentel. 4 year old got 20ml and I could only get 10ml in my 2 year old (she s difficult to give medicine to). We routinely deworm every six months. However last night the kids were both feverish. 39.1 - 39.7. Was this the Zentel causing the fever? And is this an indication that they might have had worms? thank you!!

Hi... I understand your concern. But Albendazole or Zentel is not at all related to the fever both your kids are having.
The occurrence of fever after medication is not an indication that they have worm infestation.
As both kids in the same household have fever I feel that this is a viral illness and both the kids will eventually come out of it in a couple of days.
