Deworming & itching query (2.5yo, 11kg)
Hello Doctor, my 2.5-year-old son (weight: 11 kg) was last dewormed about a year ago. Recently, he has been frequently complaining of itching in his bottom area, particularly in the evenings and at night. We also have a minor concern regarding his weight. Could you please advise if deworming is recommended at this stage? If yes, please guide us on the appropriate medicine, exact dosage according to his weight, and whether a repeat dose after 2 weeks is needed. Thank you.
