Hello,
As per your history, no, it's not advisable at age of 5 months.
You can give syp albendazole after 6 months of age.
There is different dosage schedule for age less than a year and above.
So It would be better to consult with pediatrician for detailed clinical examination and Evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
