Dear friend,I have gone through your child's problem very carefully.it seems that he has worms which is causing itching in his ana region.keeping in mind his age and weight I think he should be given 400 mg of ALBENDAZOLE TAB at bad time as a single dose.but if he still has cough and other respiratory tract infection not cured by antibiotic then wait for 3 to 4 days before giving him Albendazole.after getting completely cured from previous illness he should be given Albendazle i that said dose.my best wishes for your little one.thank you.
