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.

You’re also more likely to feel unmotivated to participate in or do activities you normally enjoy. Some other signs of fatigue include feeling: physically weaker than usual tired, despite rest as though you have less stamina or endurance than normal mentally tired and moody Loss of appetite means you don’t have the same desire to eat as you used to. Signs of decreased appetite include not wanting to eat, unintentional weight loss, and not feeling hungry. The idea of eating food may make you feel nauseous, as if you might vomit after eating. Long-term loss of appetite is also known as anorexia, which can have a medical or psychological cause. It may be a warning sign from your body when you feel fatigue and loss of appetite together.

This will help narrow down potential causes so that your doctor can order the right tests. After asking questions about your health, they may order: •blood tests to search for potential conditions, like hypothyroidism, celiac disease, or HIV CT scan or ultrasound scan of the stomach an EKG or stress test for suspected cardiac involvement gastric emptying test, which can diagnose delayed gastric emptying How do you treat fatigue and loss of appetite?

For example, you may need to change your diet to include more high-calorie, protein-rich foods, and fewer sugary or empty calorie options. Taking your food in liquid form such as green smoothies or protein drinks may be easier on your stomach. If you have trouble with big meals, you can also try eating small meals throughout the day to help keep food down. While fatigue and loss of appetite can’t always be prevented, living a healthy lifestyle can minimize lifestyle-related causes of fatigue and appetite loss. You may feel less fatigued and have more energy if you eat a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, and lean meats, exercise regularly, and sleep for at least seven hours each night.
