Is It Necessary To Give De Worming Medication To Toddlers?
I have two kids ages 5 year and 2.9. They are perfectly healthy with no symptoms of worms although they are a bit skinny but then they are very active. My question is this that is it ok to give them a de-worming med. Just to make sure that they don t have them.

Hi,
It is recommended to give deworming tablets even though they are not showing any symptoms. Above 2 years you can give 400mg of Albendazole as a single dose for this.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
