Abstract

ABSTRACT

 Based on the information found, the administration of deworming medication to children has important benefits for their health and development. A child infected with worms may experience impaired nutrient absorption, so deworming medication can help improve the absorption of carbohydrates, protein, vitamin A, and iron, as well as improve the quality of life, nutritional status, and development of the child.

The administration of deworming medication to children should start at the age of 2 years, as at this age, children have already been exposed to soil, which is a source of worm infection. Deworming medication can be repeated every 6 months. Deworming medication can also help improve weight gain, enhance learning ability, aid in concentration, and prevent worm infestation (Sources 2 and 3). Worm infections in children can lead to iron and protein deficiencies, making deworming medication essential for preventing these conditions (Source 4).

In conclusion, the regular administration of deworming medication to children has significant benefits for their health and development and can help prevent conditions caused by worm infections.
