Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As your kid is diagnosed to have malaria and put on anti malarial drug, let the treatment be finished.
Deworming tablets are given between the age of 1-5 years, so know you can stick on to antimalarial and antibiotics.
You can give deworming tablet after the age of one year.
Thank you.
