Hi, I wouldnt give a child worm wood, its powerful stuff and a bit dangerous. Better to give him carrots, pomagranite juice, papaya, pineapple, garlic ( mashed in mashed potatoes). . . Wormwood causes severe headaches. If your doc wont listen try a different doc. Tho most wont acknowledge worms. Maybe try a g/i doc? So sad the way doctors ignore parasites, I dont think they know how to get rid of them anyway.
