Good evening!
Pyrantel rarely causes a similar reaction, but it happens. The most common side effects include vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, insomnia, headache, weakness and skin rash and fever.
Therefore, the presence of these symptoms in your daughter, Pyrantel apply no longer advise. Consult with your district pediatrician about this reaction, and let the child pass the analysis - scraping on enterobiosis. Pyrantel enterobioze apply at once for all family members, and further recommended tests control.
