Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. You can give de-worming medication about 1-2hrs after the antibiotic. From your description I assume that your puppy has prepuce infection and that's way he was prescribed the antibiotic. Prepuce infection is a common problem in puppies and a few days of antibiotics should sort the problem out.
