Hello! Yes, a cat's worms can infect a child too. For prevention, it is recommended to regularly treat animals for worms with special medications, ensure hand cleanliness after contact with the animal, and also prevent the animal from licking faces. It is important to consult a veterinarian to prescribe the correct treatment and prevention for the cat's worms.

Go to the vet, they will prescribe some pills. I don't remember the exact schedule, but you need to give them to the animal 2-3 times. And deworm every three months.

Take the cat to the vet. Take the child to the pediatrician. Deworming should only be done under medical supervision because these aren't vitamins; the medication is selected for specific parasites and the dosages are based on weight.
