Brief Answer:
Albendazole will be effective
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
Its great to know that your kid is doing fine.
Worm infestation is very common in kids and deworming should be done at 3-4 months interval.
I would suggest a single dose of albendazole 400; another dose might be repeated after one month but is generally not required.
You can get it over the counter in most places, so a doctor's prescription might not be required.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
