Hello doctor,
My baby is 2 years and 6 months old. She is having worms in her poo and also having new white patches on her hand. I consulted with her pediatrician. He advised giving syrup Bandy 10 ml, it is 400 mg HS and a repeat dose after a week. Is it safe to repeat the dose?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Your baby is suffering from worm infestation, where deworming medication like Bandy (Albendazole) is to be given. It is safe to repeat the dose after a week if the baby is having an excessive worm. Make sure you deworm baby every six months till 5 years of age minimum. The baby should not have low hemoglobin, as worm infestation causes blood loss in the stool (in small quantity).
