Question

I'm worried about my 5-year-old daughter because she had severe vomiting and diarrhea about a week ago. The doctor suggested she take deworming tablets. I'm curious to know when it's absolutely necessary for kids to take these tablets. Do all children with an upset stomach need them? And are there any side effects I should be aware of?

I'm really worried about her. She's been having a temperature of 99 degrees for the last 35 days, and initially, it was around 100 for two days. We gave her paracetamol then, and it didn't go above 99 after that. Should I be concerned that it's lasted this long? What should we do next?
