Which type of doctor should I consult for a child who is still crying and rubbing her bottom at night due to suspected worms, even after taking Zentel syrup today?

Asked by Female, 2 · 2 days ago

You should consult a pediatrician or your family doctor for her. Please be reassured that Zentel (albendazole) is highly effective, but it can take a few days for the worms to be fully cleared and for the itching to stop. A second dose is also typically needed after two weeks to prevent reinfection. To help her feel more comfortable tonight, you can gently wash her bottom with warm water and apply a mild zinc oxide barrier cream to soothe the itching.
