Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: The child sometimes says they have a stomachache, but it goes away after a while. They have never taken deworming medicine. The child is currently coughing. Can they take deworming medicine? What medicine is suitable? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Parents should first not panic and calmly observe their child's daily behavior. If the child is only grinding their teeth, it cannot be used as evidence of having worms. Grinding teeth may be caused by other reasons. Is it due to teething or overeating leading to poor digestion? Some children may show a clear unwillingness to eat and become very thin, while others may binge eat but remain underweight. At night, they may suddenly wake up, have oval white spots on their face and neck, experience stomach pain around the navel, and then feel fine after a while.
