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've been having this really uncomfortable itching around my anus at night, and it's been driving me crazy because it's making me lose out on sleep. I even noticed some white worms coming from there but only at night. It's a bit concerning because I feel like I need to go to the toilet repeatedly. What could this be? Should I be worried?
