What Causes The 18 Months To Cry During Nights?
My 18 months baby is crying at night and keeping his hand in the hand. We even removed one work form his anus. Since then whenever he cries we try to search for one but did not find any. Now we are in a different country and will return in 2 weeks. What over the counter medicine can we give for relief. We are giving him home cooked food.

Hi...You have mentioned as work - but I assume that it is worm. It is worm infestation and I suggest you give Syrup Albendazole (220mg/5ml) strength medicine - give 5 ml today and another 5 ml after 10 days. This will settle the matter. But this is a prescription drug and you will need a prescription for this.
