Question
When is it best for children to take worming medicine?
Answer
According to expert advice, children under 2 years old usually do not easily contract parasites and are generally not recommended to take regular worming medication. However, if parents are concerned that their child may have been infected with parasites, they should consult a pediatrician and follow medical instructions for appropriate treatment. For children over 2 years old, it is recommended to take a worming medicine, such as Intestinal Worm Clear, once a year in the autumn to prevent parasitic infections. Additionally, natural worming methods can also be considered, such as grinding pumpkin seeds without shells and mixing them with water and sugar to form a paste, which can be taken on an empty stomach to eliminate various pests from the body.
