Can a three-year-old child take deworming medicine?

Patient's question:

My daughter is 3 years old, but she has never taken any deworming medicine until now. Could you please ask the experts if she should take deworming medicine? She currently weighs 16KG and is 94CM tall.

Doctor's answer:

3 years old is okay. To know if there are roundworms in the baby's stomach, first check if there are any roundworm spots (irregular white patches) on the face or if there are small white spots on the fingernails. At the same time, you can observe how the baby's appetite is? If they eat a lot but look pale, it can basically be determined. It is recommended to deworm after 3.5 years old. It is recommended to have a stool test for roundworm eggs at the hospital. If roundworms are found, deworming is needed, and oral Intestinal Clean can be taken. Digestive aids such as Compound B liquid, Huaji, or Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian can also be used.
