Frequently asked questions
How can I know if my child is experiencing a worm infection?
In cases of worm infestations, your child may report discomfort in their anal area (such as itching), difficulty sitting, fatigue, restless sleep due to anal itching, or persistent stomach pain accompanied by loss of appetite or frequent indigestion. Another sign is pica (the habit of eating inedible substances like mud). Consult your child’s doctor immediately if you observe any of these symptoms. The doctor may require a stool and blood sample analysis for examination. Based on the results, the doctor will determine treatment options and prescribe the appropriate medication for your child.
How can my child get infected with intestinal worms?
Children are susceptible to infection due to weaker immunity. They can contract worms by coming in contact with contaminated fecal matter found in areas with poor sanitation. These worms and their eggs spread through the transmission of contaminated water or consumption of contaminated vegetables and fruits without proper washing or peeling. Your child may also become infected by playing outdoors on soil that is contaminated with worm eggs. Maintain good hygiene for your child, including regular hand-washing and meticulous skin care after outdoor activities.
What are the severe side effects of Dicaris Children Tablet?
Prolonged or excessive intake of Dicaris Children Tablet can lead to serious side effects like seizures and low blood cell count. It is crucial to avoid administering Dicaris Children Tablet if your child has a history of seizures. Your child's doctor may perform regular blood tests (CBC) to monitor their complete blood cell counts.
Can other medications be given alongside Dicaris Children Tablet?
You can administer medicines meant for pain relief and fever management, unless your child’s doctor advises against it. However, certain medications may not be safe while taking Dicaris Children Tablet.
