Hello, Thank you for explaining your daughter’s problem clearly.

Your 6-year-old child has long-standing worm infestation (more than 6 months) with abdominal pain and night-time teeth grinding every night. These symptoms are very commonly seen together in children with intestinal worms. Teeth grinding at night is a typical sign, especially when worms are present for a long time.

The treatment should focus on removing worms safely, improving digestion, and preventing recurrence, while being gentle and age-appropriate.

Important First Clarification 👉 Yes, Vidanga and Kamela are anti-worm medicines, BUT ❌ Kamela powder is STRONG and NOT recommended for a 6-year-old child unless given strictly under direct supervision of a doctor. So, do NOT give Kamela powder at home.

✅ Safe & Recommended Approach for Your Daughter 🔎 Recommended Investigation (If possible, but treatment can start even without it) Stool routine & microscopy – to confirm type of worms

💊 Internal Medicines Phase 1 – Worm Removal (7 days) 1.Vidanga Churna Dose: 👉 ¼ teaspoon (NOT more) How to give: Mix with ½ teaspoon honey When: Once daily in the morning on empty stomach Duration: 7 days only ⚠️ Do not exceed dose. Vidanga is strong but safe in this quantity.

Phase 2 – Gut Healing & Prevention (14 days) After 7 days of Vidanga: 1.Bilwadi Churna (if available) ¼ tsp once daily after food → Improves digestion and prevents re-infestation OR 2.Hingvastak Churna A pinch only mixed with ghee Once daily after lunch

🌿 External & Supportive Care 1.Night hygiene is very important 2.Trim nails short 3.Wash hands before sleep 4.Change innerwear daily 5.Wash bed sheets weekly in hot water 6.Apply a little coconut oil around anus at night → Prevents itching and re-entry of worms

🥗 Diet & Lifestyle for Child ❌ Avoid Excess sweets, chocolates, bakery items Junk food Cold milk at night Eating just before sleep

✅ Include Warm, freshly cooked food Garlic in small quantity in food Pumpkin seeds (1 tsp powdered, mixed with food) Plenty of warm water

🕉️ Expected Outcome & Follow-up Teeth grinding reduces within 7–10 days Abdominal pain settles gradually Worm symptoms usually clear in 2–3 weeks Repeat Vidanga course after 15 days only if needed, not routinely

If you notice: Severe abdominal pain Vomiting Weight loss Visible worms even after treatment 👉 Please consult directly for reassessment.

Clear Answer to Your Question ❌ Do NOT give Kamela powder to a 6-year-old at home ✅ Vidanga alone is sufficient and safer in the correct dose ✅ Honey is fine as an anupanam (carrier) You are doing the right thing by asking before giving medicines. If you want, I can also adjust the dose based on her weight or suggest a classical syrup option for children.

With warm regards, Dr. Sumi MS (Ayu)

Hello I can understand why you’re worried about your daughter’s stomach worms and teeth grinding. It’s tough seeing your kid go through that. These two things often go hand-in-hand with kids, and Ayurveda actually has some good, safe ways to help, as long as you use them right.

You mentioned your 6-year-old daughter has had worms for over six months, with tummy pain and grinding her teeth every night. You’re wondering if Vidanga and Kamela powder with honey would work and what the right amount would be.

In Ayurveda, we call this Krimi Roga. Worms pop up because of a few things: * Weak digestion * Too much Kapha (one of the body’s energies) * Eating too many sweets, junk food, or just inconsistent meals.

–Night-time teeth grinding is a classic sign of belly worms. – If worms stick around, they can lead to tummy aches, crabbiness, not getting enough nutrients from food, and bad sleep.

So yeah, the worms are the root of the problem, and once you get rid of them, the teeth grinding usually stops on its own.

ABOUT KAMELA

–Kamela (that’s Mallotus philippensis) is a strong herb. – You really shouldn’t give it to your child at home without a doctor watching. –Giving the wrong amount can cause diarrhea, dehydration, or make your child weak.

❌So please, don’t use Kamela powder by yourself.

AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

INTERNAL MEDICATION

1.Vidanga Churna: Just a tiny pinch (about 1/4 teaspoon, around 250 mg). -Mix it with honey. -Give it once a day, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. – Do this for only 7–10 days.

Vidanga is awesome at killing worms and it’s fine for kids when given in the right amount.

2. OPTIONAL SUPPORTIVE HERB (if needed): – If the tummy pain is bad, you can use Hingvashtak Churna. – Dose: A small pinch mixed in warm water. – Once a day after food. – For 5–7 days.

DIET MODIFICATION

❌AVOID * Chocolates, cookies, baked goods * Lots of sugar or sweets * Cold milk at night * Junk food and packaged stuff

✅INCLUDE * Warm, freshly cooked meals * Light dishes * Garlic (a little bit in their food) * Pumpkin seeds (1–2 teaspoons, crushed, during the day)

Keeping things clean is just as important as the medicine itself.

Keep things clean (must-do’s): * Trim nails regularly. * Wash hands before eating. * Take a bath every day. * Wash underwear daily. * Don’t scratch down there.

These steps stop worms from coming back, which happens a lot with kids.

WHEN WILL THE TEETH GRINDING STOP? * The worm problem should get better within 5–7 days. * Teeth grinding usually improves in 1–2 weeks. * If she’s still grinding her teeth after three weeks, you should have her checked again.

When to see a doctor right away: * Terrible tummy pain * Throwing up or diarrhea * Losing weight * If you keep seeing worms even after treatment.

Vidanga by itself is usually enough to start. Don’t use Kamela without a professional watching over it. The right amount of medicine plus good hygiene means a full recovery.

Your daughter’s problem is very fixable, and with the right care, she’ll be sleeping soundly again soon.

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
