Better to consult an Ayurveda doctor directly. Online advice for infant can be dangerous.

By any chance can we give this medicine (gopi chandanadi tab) to children for worm infestation? My vydyan asked to give it in the boiled Turmic water?? Any suggestions please.
Please go ahead with your Vaidya’s suggestion.
For personal health advice, please consult an Ayurveda doctor directly.

Hello doctor,. My 4 year old son has been advised to take gopichandanadi gulika with honey and tulasi rasa for general immunity. Can it be given only with honey as he is spitting out if tulasi rasa is included?
My mother in law is very insitent of giving gopichan chandanadi gulika to my 1 year old son as on a daily basis even if he is perfectly fine. She used to give it to him without my knowledge even the first day he was born. Is a safe practice? I am worried that it will cause adverse effect to my son’s developing body system on the long run. Please advise. Much thanks.
