Question
Children grind their teeth at night and have abdominal pain. The abdominal pain improved after taking Albendazole tablets, but I am worried about whether the dosage is appropriate.
Answer
Grinding teeth at night and abdominal pain may be symptoms of a roundworm infection. Albendazole tablets are used to treat roundworm infections. It is normal for abdominal pain to improve after taking Albendazole tablets as a treatment response. For a three-year-old child, the correct dosage is one tablet per day, taken continuously for two days. Please follow the doctor’s recommended dosage and do not adjust the medication on your own. Additionally, while the medication has a therapeutic effect, it also has certain side effects, so try to minimize the frequency of medication. Heat therapy and other methods can be used to alleviate discomfort.
