Yes indeed! Deworming medicines can be taken every 6 months to 1 year or every once in a while. I cannot write you a prescription here. Albendazole is the drug of choice Next Steps Deworming should be done every once in a while

I'm 39 and I've been dealing with a cold and cough for a few days now. I tried taking Levolin Plus for my cough, but it feels like the phlegm is stuck in my chest and won't come out. I'm also hearing some noises from my ears. Can you recommend any medications, like a cough syrup or antibiotics, that might help me get some relief?

take tablet amoxyclav for 5 days and syrup ascoril twice a day

I've been dealing with a really bad cold and cough lately, and my doctor told me to get a Haemogram blood test done. The results show a WBC count of 13100, which seems higher than normal. Could you help me understand what this might mean and what steps I should take next? I'm a bit worried.
