It is a behaviour problem. You need to counsel your child not to do these things. No drugs can stop that behaviour. Drugs are for the problems created by these behaviours like for worm infestation you can give syrup albendazole and for multivitamin and iron deficiency you can give iron and multivitamin syrup.

this is probably a manifestation of intestinal worms or iron deficiency or both. you first need to deworm your child and then start with iron supplements
