Giving Worm Medicine To Children With Fever?
amu alaikum!!!!rnI’m Nurul in Makassar, I want to ask, is it okay to give worm medicine to a child who has a fever???
1 Answer:
Hi Nurul,
Deworming drugs are drugs used to treat worm infections in humans, such as:
Hookworm
Roundworm
Heart worm
Tapeworm
Pinworms
etc
In fact, fever is not a contraindication to the use of worm medicine so it can be consumed at the time of fever. Contraindication to the administration of deworming is the presence of an allergy to the components of the anthelmintic. In such conditions the doctor will advise your child to take other drugs that do not trigger an allergic reaction.
If you have doubts or are not clear about this, you can consult directly with your doctor to get a detailed explanation about this. Use deworming medicine according to the recommended use / doctor's instructions to avoid various potential side effects that can be caused.
