Child Deworming

Asked for Male, 1 year

My son is 18 months now .He cries a lot during night and wakes up many times some 14,15 times. By now, he should sleep for longer stretches. I want to deworm him. Kindly tell me the dosage of it. And also I would welcome any suggestions so that he sleeps peacefully throughout the night.

Dear Patient,

Although these do not indicate a case of worms, deworming kids once in 6 mths is a beneficial approach. Syrup Vermox 2.5ml given as a single dose is enough to deworm an 18mo
for better sleeping make sure the child is clean, with dry pamper on, the temperature is suitable for him, make sure he gets ample milk during the night and a good dinner and most importantly indulge the child in physical activities throughout the day to enhance his motor skills.
