Worms in stool of 9 month old
Hi Doctor,
I noticed a small white worm in my 9 month old daughter stool. Is it common for a 9 month old to get worms and safe to deworm. Kindly advise. I also have a elder kid who is 6 year old and does deworming every 6 months.
worm in 9 months old child is not normal
Before suggesting treatment, I would like to ask a few questions to ensure the correct management can be provided.
