How old does a child have to be to eat insecticide?

Patient's question:

My daughter is three years old in terms of and often grinds her teeth while sleeping. I suspect she might have worms in her stomach. Can she take medicine for this now? Seeking an answer.

Doctor's answer:

Is there any insect? It cannot be estimated solely based on your judgment. Have you had the eggs tested? You cannot blindly use deworming medication. Does the child have white spots on their face? It's important to rule out leukoderma, as the most common condition is simple pityriasis alba, which is primarily caused by a lack of trace elements and is related to intestinal parasites. Deworming medication for children is generally required to be at least 2 years old. There are also deworming medications suitable for children. After using deworming medication, it's necessary to supplement the child with appropriate amounts of trace elements to gradually recover from the white spots on their face. Pay attention to a balanced diet and avoid picky eating.
