yes mommy pwede na po. pwede niyo po mabasa sa link mismo ng WHO WHO recommendations Preventive chemotherapy (deworming), using annual or biannuala single-dose albendazole (400 mg) or mebendazole (500 mg)b is recommended as a public health intervention for all young children 12–23 months of age, preschool children 1–4 years of age, and school-age children 5–12 years of age (in some settings up to 14 years of age) living in areas where the baseline prevalence of any soil-transmitted infection is 20% or more among children, in order to reduce the worm burden of soil-transmitted helminth infection. a Biannual administration is recommended where the baseline prevalence is more than 50%. b A half-dose of albendazole (i.e. 200 mg) is recommended for children younger than 24 months of age. https://www.who.int/elena/titles/deworming/en/
