Patient's question:
Can children skip taking deworming medication? This condition has been present in the child for some time, and they are hesitant to give medication. Please provide some advice from a doctor.Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to assist you. If the child lives in a relatively dirty environment and frequently comes into contact with parasites, there may be potential places for infection. It is recommended to give the child a pinworm vaccine or take antipinworm medication. If there is no such medical history, medication may not be necessary. Your child is 1 year and 3 months old. If there is suspicion of pinworms, you can first do a routine stool examination to check for pinworm eggs before deciding whether to use medication.
