Hello dear,
Thank you for your contact in Helthcare. I had and understand your concern.
Dog has lots worms, child crawls everywhere ,so probably baby have been infected, that's why i propose to give him Zentel(albendazole)-syrup-an antiprotozoal and anthelmintic agent. He acts on intestinal and tissue forms of the parasite , the active to eggs,larvae and adult worms.We used zentel for helminthiasis :enterobioza, ascariasis(dog's worms),giadiasis in children and etc.
How to use:It is assumed Zentel suspension with food. Children up to 2 years once 5 ml orally in bed time. If clinical improvement after 3 weeks dosn't occur , a second course of treatment.
In addition, cut nails of baby shortly, don't allow to dog go inside child's room, wash hands and toys of baby with soup.
