Brief Answer:
Diet changes and exercise needed for weight gain.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Weight gain needs dietary changes and exercise. I will recommend you discuss about your current diet with a nutritionist and plan a personalized diet.

As far as deworming is concerned, albendazole is given in a dose of 400mg as a single tablet. The dose is repeated a week later for effective results. You should note that albendazole is a prescription only medicine and should be taken under medical supervision.

Hope this answered your question.

Regards
