What causes anal itching in a child at night?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern.

As per the information provided, the most common cause for itching in the anal area during nighttime is worm infestation.

Give syrup Zental (Albendazole 20 ml bottle containing 100 mg per 5 ml) to your son. Give 20 ml (full bottle) today and repeat the same dose after two weeks.

If you have other siblings, it is recommended to deworm them too. Let me know their age and weight, and I will advise you on the dose. I personally suggest treating all family members, including servants and whoever is handling food (if you have a cook).

I will advise you of some precautions. These precautions will help you and your family members avoid this condition.

1. Keep very good hand and nail hygiene.

2. Make sure he is getting clean drinking water when outside, like when in school or going for outings.

3. Cleaning vegetables thoroughly is also important, which I am sure you must be doing.

4. Any vegetable, if eaten raw, should have the skin peeled off.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.

I appreciate your quick action and connection.

As all are older than your son, the same dose is required for everyone, as this is the maximum dose required.

I hereby repeat the dose for all the family members. Tab Zental 400 mg (Albendazole), one tab once today, and repeat the same dose after two weeks.
