Deworming 11 months old baby girl
I saw 3 to 4 worms in the stool for 11 months old girl . Not sure if deworming by giving bandy plus is recommended at this age . Please advice what could be the next step otherwise baby seems to be active and not fussy unnecessarily.

Deworming medicine needs to be given routinely to every child after one year of age and the dose is 200 mg of albendazole once at night time and then repeat the same dose after 14 days once this cycle should be repeated every six months at least till 5 year of age but it is advisable to give this medicine only after taking guidance by your doctor
