Hi there,
From what you are prescribing, it might be:
- threadworms
- fiber, especially if he is constipated or his diet is high in fiber content foods
Please watch for other symptoms:
- itching
- fever
- loss/diminished appetite
- fatigue
- abdominal pain
and keep monitoring his feces for unusual findings.
If any of the symptoms are present and his feces keeps on with the same structure, should send a sample to the lab and discuss it further with his pediatrician.
All the best!
