Hi

Greeting from HealthcareMagic!

I had seen your medical history and understood your true concerns. Toddlers are commonly prescribed with Albendazole (zentel) because they are commonly affected by different parasitic worm infestations. As children are more prone to parasite, this medicine is very effective in many cases. But in a very few cases, there will be side effects. Some children are hypersensitive to Albendazole in whom we can observe side effects (vomiting, nausea, headache).
If this is used along with psychiatric drugs, that can cause drug interactions. You can go for Mebendazole 1 dosage forms instead of Zentel. Hope your child health recover soon.

Take Care!

Regards
