Question

The child says their bottom is itchy. They have already taken deworming medicine but still have the sensation of itching. Can they take albendazole tablets again?

Answer

The child’s itchy bottom may be caused by parasitic infection or other factors such as anal eczema or anal inflammation. In this case, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a detailed examination to determine the cause of the itching. If diagnosed with anal eczema, topical medications like Danpi Feng Ointment can be used for treatment. If it is worm infection, medications such as Intestinal Worm Clean Tablets may be required for treatment. Since the child has already taken deworming medicine, it is advisable to decide under the guidance of a professional doctor whether to take albendazole tablets again and the dosage. Additionally, maintaining good personal hygiene habits can also help prevent and alleviate symptoms.
