Question

My child has been crying and fussing a lot recently, and I’m not sure if it’s related to parasitic infections. I want to know at what age children can start deworming.

Answer

The possible cause could be an infection with parasites such as roundworms, pinworms, hookworms, or tapeworms. Medications like Shuizhongren and Kulinpi can be used for deworming. For infants with digestive problems, consider using Simalin Oral Liquid and Xiao’er Qizhen Pill to regulate the spleen and stomach, and complement with the Shuizhi therapy to alleviate symptoms.
