Use bandy plus syrup 10 ml in the night after food .Repeat same after 3 days ,for itching give syp Atarax 5 ml morning night for 3 days.
Normally deworming should be done every 6 months till the kid reaches 5 years of age .
But in this case,since symptoms persist you can give one more dose ,if any query consult Online.

It is usually given every 4-6 months. But if symptoms occur, you can repeat the dose again. That is 10 ml given after dinner two times, given at 14 days interval.
Advised to take plenty of fluids too
