What Do You Suggest For My Son Who Is Constantly Getting Worms?

My son is constantly getting worms and I don t no why. They are white and small but you can visualise the egg they are coming out of. My son has good hygeine practices.

Hi,

As your son is constantly getting worms, I'd suggest to:

- give him otc anti-worm drug for 3 consecutive days.
- repeat the same dose after 2 weeks and then, after 1 month
- keep good hygiene measures as he is currently doing
- get all the other house members de-wormed too (take the same dose as for your son all other family members although no sign or symptoms)
- Wash fruits and vegetables (that are eaten fresh) thoroughly with water
- give him a mixture of 1 clove of garlic (blended) with 1 small cup of milk early in the morning every week for up to 3 months.

Hope it was of help!
