Syp Albendazole 5ml give once at night and another 5ml after 2 weeks.
Eating wall flaking might be a symptom of anemia. You might need to check he hemoglobin once. Could be because of iron deficiency anemia.
Also reduce milk intake gradually which will allow her to have other food preferences.

She needs proper evaluation. Kindly get her checked by a pediatrician, rather than giving her medicines randomly. It may be teething problem, it may be something more serious. Image is taking too long to load, but usually the strength is 200mg/5ml and you have to give her 5 ml now and 5 ml after 14 days.
