Question
My child has been complaining of abdominal pain for the past few days and has discovered white tapeworms during urination. An emergency visit resulted in a prescription for deworming medication, but after taking it, they vomited and still have abdominal pain, requiring further treatment.
Answer
It is recommended to visit the pediatric clinic for a follow-up consultation to receive a professional diagnosis. If the child vomits within half an hour of taking the medication, it may affect the effectiveness of the drug, but another tablet can be taken orally. Since there are worms in the child’s abdomen, it may be necessary to take another deworming medication.
