Medical practitioners should be placed correctly; they are only there to advise the public on the available treatments for diseases and the safety of those treatments. The final choice of any treatment should be the prerogative of the patient. For God's sake doctors are not gods and do not know everything. Their knowledge is limited as well and people should not rely on them so defenselessly. Raj I think that you are giving too much to doctors.

Your physician will be the best person to come to a conclusion as he/she has access for physically examining a patient. The symptoms that you reproduce here can be of parasites as there is a pet/child puts hand in mouth/has access to dirt or fungal infection because of wet diapers. So the best person would be your doctor itself to suggest you any other alternative for a complete cure.

However, I'm a bit worried because I noticed that my child would seemingly scratch her bottom by rocking back and forth on her bath tub, and her stomach has grown quite big enough to be noticed. She also has scratch marks on her bottom. She's not really a thumb sucker but she would frequently put her hand in her mouth. And now that she's confidently walking on her own, she has easy access to dirty things. We have a dog but she's doesn't live inside the house with us. My question is, is my child manifesting symptoms of worm infestation? If so, I will insist a prescription for my daughter. However, is it advisable to deworm a 10-kilogram baby?
