The symptoms that your child experienced after taking Zentel, such as nausea, vomiting, pain in the navel area and dark yellow urine, can be both a side effect of the drug and the body's reaction to the elimination of parasites. It is difficult to judge on the basis of such a short description.
Albendazole, the active ingredient in Zentel, can cause these complaints, and dead worms can also affect your baby's well-being. It is recommended to consult a doctor to assess symptoms and determine further treatment.
