Dear parents, each and every drug has side effects, but the intensity of side effects varies with person to person. Usually albendazole is very safe drug and it is essential to kill worms in your baby's gut and prevent worm infestation (so government applied deworming campaign using albendazole biannually for 1 to 5 year child). It is possible that dizziness and vomiting could be due to albendazole or could be due to other cause, but this drug is generally very safe and no or minimal side effect occurs. But if today your baby is fine, then it is ok. No need to worry. It will remain transiently, and if your baby has still problem then consult a pediatrician.

I would like to do deworming for myself. Any suggestion on the tablet and it's doses. I don't have any symptoms at all. So, is it good to do deworming without any symptoms?

Side effects of low-dose albendazole therapy are minimal, consisting of diarrhea, abdominal pain, migration of ascaris through the mouth or nose, and rare hypersensitivity. With high-dose or prolonged therapy, elevated levels of hepatic transaminases, dizziness, neutropenia, and alopecia are most common. Pl meet paediatrician in nearby hospital.

Consume warm water. Chew your food properly before engulfing. Avoid junk food. If you are suffering from too much heat in your body, you need to get yourself evaluated for prakriti and it has to analyzed in ayurvedic way, there are some good ayurveda medicines such as kudajarishtam etc. You may need to follow it under guidance.

Hello Lybrate-user, I would recommend to use cina 10m (8 pellets) once in a week. Repeat it only, if any symptom persists or needed. Also wash your hands with warm water and mild soap before eating/ handling food. Proper hygiene and care is the key. Still have some doubts or need help? I am happy to help. Have a good day!
