Yes, I need a syrup not an antibiotic. What is the name of the syrup? However I think I might get Flagyl for myself. Have been struggling with stomach problems for a week now. edited by Appletiser on 24/11/2012 I wouldn't take Flagyl lightly Appletiser, I had to take it for giardia and it was AWFUL. Made me even sicker. Same with my silly husband who took it 'just in case' which I warned him not to do. ... I agree with Daza...Flagyl is vile and should only be used for specific, medically diagnosed conditions. '>It treats bacterial and protozoan infections (like giardiasis). I had a quick look at one site on flagyl and didn't see any indication that it acts on any other parasites [b'>so I imagine it's useless against worms[/b'>[/b'>. Agree any meds should be prescribed by a doctor, we have only used Flagyl when it was prescribed by our doctor. The literature that accompanies the medication says its a treatment for roundworm which I see is the general term used for all the major types of worms including pinworm, hookworm and whipworm. We have used it on adults and children and none of us suffered any ill effects, however as with all meds what suits one person may not suit another. I can only presume our doctor was correct in prescribing it. It was not useless against worm for us however I would definitely consider trying one of the other meds recomended here if ever needed again, this thread has been very informative. <em>edited by Di@DXB on 26/11/2012</em>

The only time I had to de worm my kids (and us too!!) was during a holiday in Crete when my stupid then teenage sister picked up a puppy and let the children play with it!! Next day, both had "wrigglies" in their stools so it was a trip to the pharmacy to get some de worming medicine. It is not something that is done as a matter of course in the UK.

When I was growing up, the culture in Aus was to worm the children at the end of every school term. My parents didn't follow that and only gave us worming medication when there was evidence of worms. My sister and I turned out fine-ish. ;) My children have had [b'>revoltingly obvious signs of worms[/b'> pretty regularly since moving & starting school here in Aus, so I'm doing the three monthly worming routine at the moment. Might let it go for a while now and see if the worms make a comeback... For us, my kids are outside all day every day and playing with chickens, cats and guinea p1gs. We have wild ducks, possums and loads of native reptiles in the garden. Even with pretty good hygiene awareness, young, outdoorsey kids will pick up worms. Worming medication does not prevent infection so it's best used only when there is evidence of an infestation. The night I discovered my then five year old had worms goes down as one of my most revolting moments of motherhood so far. Pouring out they were *gags*. You haven't lived till you've gone fishing with a cotton bud. :D Oh and another symptom I forgot to mention is -really smelly boom booms.

Urgh, another vote against flagyl....they use it for giardia, and you really only want to take it if testing has been done and the Dr prescribes. Vermox comes in the fluid suspension for kidlets, Like green-ish we have loads of animals, wildlife etc that we're in contact with daily, and utterly agree with desert rose that smallies are grubby wee pups no matter how çarefully they try and practise hygeine. I'm another mum who (tries to remember to) worms at least once every 6 months...the whole household. Lil miss had thread worm? some years ago and it's not something I'd care to repeat. But it's not always as obvious as that symptom wise..itchy skin, interupted sleep, apetite swings, sore private bits etc etc not just worms coming out to feed as the sun goes down (yerk) The adult dose comes in one tablet (repeated 2 weeks later) and the kiddies have to have 5ml, twice a day for 3 days, repeated 2 weeks later. But do check with your pead if concerned.

We've been here 5 years and I've never given our kids (ages 2-7) deworming tablets. To be honest, none of the peds, I've seen has ever recommended it... This is very interesting. I am not keen to start loading them up with unnecessary meds but if its harmless and should be done 2x a year, surprised doctors have never mentioned. How bizarre. Thanks for the info ladies! Xmasbaby, I've never given it twice a year myself, only once when my now 15 year old was about 2 (ped recommendation) and for my LO, once as well (couple months back when I suspected he might have pinworms due to itching). But I certainly will be more vigilant now I know what other symptoms to look for (thanks DR)

We use Vermox for the children and not just because its the one their paed prefers. Its what I used on mine and I found to be really effective. Apart from an itchy bum, and not everyone gets the itchy bum, other symtoms to look our for are unexplained uticaria of the hands and feet, a general feeling of an all over itch, unexplained random vomiting, vague tummy problems, general tiredness. Kids are little stinkers, even the ones who try and practice good hygene, and I think I was told by out paed that up to 70% of young school aged children are infected with worms at any given time. My daughters a teacher and she worms herself as a matter of course a few times a year and I used to do this for all of mine as well, my daughter does it as well. Its not sand that worries us, its just general run of the mill day to day contact with other kids. Another way to tell if a child has worms it to discretely place a bit of sellotape over their bottom when they are in bed, that way if anything goes out for a midnight walk it should be there for you to see in the morning. Also, with little girls, quite often the first sign is their little private area looks irritated and for no apparent reason.

I need to ask a question - how on earth do you know if your toddler needs deworming medicine? Also in regards to another poster's statement of taking it regularly because of the sand? Does anyone else do this? This is the first I've heard of this and I've lived here for 4 years! Sobevan, Generally itchy bums. My youngest is 6, and he had an itchy bum a couple months back, not sure if it was pin worms but it didn't clear with cream, so I got the worm solution. Same with my eldest when he was young (toddler), we also took it back then as well, just in case. No it's not dangerous.

If you eat out a lot and your kids play a lot in the sand and parks here then there is a high probability they have worms. I want to deworm my toddler as he has been complaining about an itchy bum and scratching there nonstop (which is one of the telltale signs). With the nice weather we have been going to a lot of parks and also eating out more. I,myself have been having stomach problems all weeks so I guess I will stick with home cooking now. ;) The kitchens of restaurants here are not the cleanest so you never know what they serve you 'extra'.

Does anyone else do this? This is the first I've heard of this and I've lived here for 4 years! I know plenty of people that de-worm every six months. Info here: http://www.babycenter.in/baby/health/dewormingexpert/ I've got no idea in relation to sand, most people I know ho de-worm do so because they have pets which evidently makes the risk higher. Worms in children are pretty common in general though. As for the how to you know, children often have an itchy bottom if they have worms.

For just a standard dewormer for my children I got some from the Ranches pharmacy (recommended by their ped but OTC). I can't remember what it was called but it was a powder that you mixed up in to a single dose with water. Repeated about 2 weeks later.

Chocolate squares yumeeee!!!, that sounds good Greenish. Not sure if they have them here, I have de-wormed both my kids when little with vermox (they have it here, I have a bottle right beside me, tastes a bit like chalky banana), they recommend it in Europe as well, but if the choccie one is available then I would go for that :)

Can you get good old Combantrin over there? The 'chocolate' squares make it so easy to dose the little ones. Any pharmacy should be able to give you a suitable wormer for children.

Di, is Flagyl not an antibiotic? I think the OP is looking for a regular deworming tablet/syrup that you would give to children on a regular basis (important here as they spenda lot of time in sand) - OP, yes there is deworming syrup available here for little ones, available at all pharmacies. Yes, it is specially for intestinal microbes and parasites http://www.webmd.com/drugs/drug-7644-Flagyl+Oral.aspx?drugid=7644&drugname=Flagyl+Oral
