What should I do to increase the weight of my twin babies who get worms often?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have twin boys and girls. They were born at 36 weeks with 2.6 boys and 2.25 girls. Later, a boy baby used to come on a correct, but a girl baby is still in the same condition. However, since I was 4 years old in a month, my weight has still been between 14 (boy) and 12.8 (girl). I do not know what has to be done to increase my weight. If I take any medication or syrup, it gives us an outward reaction, making us get scared and stop it. And also, my baby boy is often getting a worm infection in spite of being given a worm infestation syrup like Nemocid and having undergone a worm treatment with some medicines like Zanocin, Flagyl, Subiotic, followed by Mebex, but that too did not last more than 4 months.

Please suggest what to do.
