Worm infestation
My son is 16 months old and weights about 11kg occasionally He is itching near his penial region. After scrutiny thoroughly I discovered a small living worm from his anal. Doctor advised Noworm suspension 200mg as a single dose for the first day, followed by a second dose of 200 mg after 2 weeks.
Kindly advise whether it will be safe?
