Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me under what circumstances a baby needs to take deworming medicine?Doctor's answer:
Over the age of two is acceptable. However, it should not be too frequent, generally once a year, because deworming medication has a certain immune regulatory effect. You can choose "Anthelminthic" (Albendazole) 200mg, take it before bed at night, once is sufficient. Alternatively, you can choose Mebendazole, Oxyphenbutazone, etc. In traditional Chinese medicine, hand and foot fever is divided into two types: "Dampness accumulation with spleen deficiency" and "blood deficiency with yin deficiency." The causes include irregular diet, excessive eating, irregular meal times, frequent snacking, which can damage the spleen and stomach function over time, leading to impaired transportation and transformation, forming stagnation.
