Patient's question:
My daughter is almost four years old. She has been grinding her teeth at night. I took her to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor recommended checking her trace elements. There is a slight zinc deficiency, but everything else is normal. She currently has a slight fever and a runny nose. The doctor suggested buying an anthelmintic called "Anlezi."Hello, can children take this? What side effects might it have? I gave her one tablet, and she complained of stomach pain. Can she take it with focus? Are there any contraindications? Our doctor didn’t mention anything.
Previous Treatment and Effects: She has taken many anthelmintic medications. What help is needed: What should we do next?
Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify this. This situation could be considered as abdominal pain caused by roundworms wandering after taking deworming medication, compounded by the fact that children's gastrointestinal tracts are more fragile when they have a cold.Advice: It is recommended to first treat the fever in the child before administering deworming medication. I hope this helps.
The above is the advice for the question "What deworming medication should a 4-year-old child take?" I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
