Greetings repeating anthelmintic treatment, treating the entire household, and practicing strict hand hygiene. It is essential to consult a pediatrician before giving another dose to confirm the type of parasite.

Get a stool routine test done from a good lab. The type of worm must be identified for correct treatment. It's no use just repeating deworming blindly

U need to get a stool examination because some worms need a special regime of deworming. Secondly you need to focus on cause like hand hygiene , toilet habits and nail trimming as needed.

Yes, deworming can be repeated after 3 months if symptoms have recurred. Reinfection is quite common in children. Along with giving deworming medicine again, focus on prevention: • regular hand washing • trimming nails short • washing fruits/vegetables properly • avoiding nail biting/thumb sucking • daily underwear change • washing bedding/clothes properly If he has itching around the anus especially at night, disturbed sleep, recurrent abdominal pain, poor appetite, worms visible in stool, or repeated recurrence despite treatment, a pediatric evaluation may help decide whether stool testing or treatment of family members is needed. Please avoid repeated frequent dosing without medical advice.
