My baby is 10 months old. Ascaris lumbricoides was seen in her stool test report. Please tell me what this is and what the treatment for this worm is? My doctor has suggested that, since she is only 10 months old, we cannot give any medicine until she turns 1 year. Please advise.

Ascaris is a type of intestinal worm. While some doctors wait till age 1, if symptoms are severe, pediatricians may consider treatment. Keep hygiene strict. Consult a pediatrician again. Syrup Bandy will be given if the symptoms are severe

Hi sir or madam, for the last 3 months, my baby motions are watery, sometimes semi solid, and sometimes semi solid with mucus. It happens daily up to 8 times. I have attached the report in this mail. Please share what kind of problem this could be. The doctor told us to stop breastfeeding. Is this correct? What should I do? My baby is 6 months old.
