Hello doctor. I am breastfeeding and have pinworms. My baby is currently 14 months old. I also saw a worm when cleaning the baby. The doctor asked me if I can take deworming pills? Please advise, thank you.

Hello!
Helminth infection is a fairly common disease in our country. Women who are breast-feeding must be careful with drugs.
Therefore, the mother needs to get tested to see if there is really a worm infection, what type of infection so that a specialist can prescribe appropriate medication. While taking the drug, the mother must stop breastfeeding until the drug is eliminated, usually after 2 days after taking the drug.
You can visit Vinmec Health System facilities nationwide to get advice and guidance from experienced doctors.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
