Question
A four-year-old child grinds his teeth at night, and the doctor suggests using the deworming medicine Anlues. The child has taken deworming medicine multiple times before and currently has a fever and a runny nose. Should the medication be continued, and what are the possible side effects and precautions to be aware of? After taking one dose, the child experiences abdominal pain. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
Based on the description, the abdominal pain in the child may be due to the movement of worms after taking the deworming medicine, especially during a cold when the child’s gastrointestinal tract is more fragile. It is recommended to consider using deworming medicine after treating the child’s fever symptoms. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you.
