Can The Deworming Syrup Be Given Continuously For 2 Days To A Four Year Old?
Hi, Yesterday night I had given my 4 year old son 5 ml of deworming syrup. Later around 4 in the morning he had fever. I had given him crocin and the fever subsided. He is fine now. Can I give another 5 ml of the deworming syrup tonight or should I discontinue the schedule

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
The dose of deworming syrup is 400mg (10ml) as a single dose, to repeat again after two weeks.
Nothing will happen if you give 5 ml for two consecutive days.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
