Generally speaking, babies can only take worming medicine when they are over 2 weeks old, and there will be clear reminders on the instructions of the worming medicine.
Because some of the ingredients in the worming medicine need to be metabolized and decomposed by the liver, and the child’s liver usually develops completely only after 2 weeks of age or more, and babies younger than 2 years of age taking the worming medicine will destroy the function of the liver, which is not conducive to the health of the body. Therefore, children under 2 years of age are usually contraindicated for worming medicine.
It should be noted that the worming medicine can not be taken casually, must be diagnosed with the presence of parasites in the baby’s intestinal tract before taking, and need to be taken under the guidance of a professional doctor.
All in all, the baby 2 weeks of age or older can be oral deworming drugs. If you need to use medication, please consult your physician and follow the doctor’s instructions.
