HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, first of the worm infestation needs to be confirmed because in absence of this it is not advisable to give medicine for worm because according to species or worm medicine being given most of the time it is the single dose medicines so I would suggest to see the pediatrician, you can send the stool for lab test hope this information helps.
