Q: A 5-year-old baby's father** consulted that the baby has a bad appetite, and the doctor suggested that you can try deworming, so what anthelmintic drugs can be used?

The American pharmacist replied: It is recommended that parents should take their babies for a stool test first to clarify which parasites are in the baby's intestines to better choose effective anthelmintic drugs. Generally, for the most common intestinal roundworms, pinworms, and whipworms, intestinal worm clear (albendazole) can be preferred, 1 tablet each time.

It is best to take it on an empty stomach in the morning or before going to bed at night, the anthelmintic drug is less toxic, and when taken on an empty stomach, the concentration of the drug in the intestine will be higher, improving the insecticidal effect. After taking anthelmintic drugs, pay attention to rest, drink more water, and eat more foods rich in crude fiber, such as coarse grains, celery, bananas, apples, etc., which are conducive to the excretion of worms. If it is difficult to swallow the medicine whole, the tablets can be crushed or chewed and taken with a small amount of water.

Pay attention to personal hygiene, develop good hygiene habits, do not drink raw water, do not eat unwashed vegetables and fruits, cut nails frequently, do not suck fingers, and wash hands before and after meals, so as to reduce the chance of insect eggs. Adults should properly dispose of faeces, cut off the route of infection, and keep water and food free from contamination to reduce the chance of infection.

In addition, it is reminded that children should not take anthelmintic drugs regularly. Anthelmintic drugs are also the same as other drugs, and adverse reactions can occur when taken regularly or in excess, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, liver damage, encephalitis syndrome, etc.

Therefore, children should not take anthelmintic drugs frequently, especially children with liver and kidney insufficiency, spleen and stomach weakness, and acute fever, which should be used with caution or prohibited.

For babies under the age of 2, the liver development is not complete, and most anthelmintic drugs will affect the liver and kidney function, after taking it will cause liver damage to the baby, causing elevated aminotransferases, so it is recommended that the best way for babies under 2 years old to prevent and treat intestinal parasitic diseases is to pay attention to life hygiene and cut off contact with insect eggs.
