Brief Answer:
The dose is same for both the kids
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Zeebee contains albendazole which is a fixed dose drug while most others depend upon the weight of the child. For albendazole, for children above 8kg or 1 year, the dose is 400 mg once, to be repeated after 14 days, same as that in adults. So, for both your children, the dose would be 10 ml of the syrup. It is preferable to repeat the dose after 14 days although it is not mandatory. You can deworm at yearly intervals.
Hope that clarifies your queries.
