Does the baby need to take deworming medicine?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. May I ask if infants can take deworming medication?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, deworming treatment is recommended after the age of 2. Children under 2 are usually not infected with parasites. If deworming is necessary, it is best to choose Mebendazole. Under normal circumstances, deworming once a year is sufficient. Autumn is the best time. It is best to take the medication before bed. The dosage of Mebendazole is prescribed as two tablets per dose for children over 2 years old.
Immunity is innate and present from birth, with varying levels of strength depending on the individual. Currently, it is difficult to intervene significantly in innate immunity, but the development of acquired immunity can be influenced. Certain lifestyle habits and poor living environments can enhance immunity.
