How can i treat thread worm?every night my bum starts itching..?
Its pretty likely that the infestation has come to you via the children, the spread is almost always faecal>oral. Good news there are plenty of over the counter treatments available from your pharmacy, I advised Pripsen, but there are plenty of others. Bad news, there will be at least one other family member affected and the normal advice is to treat EVERYONE! You also need to have a gentle chat with the kids about more frequent hand washing for the future. Sorry “Trust me I’m a Doctor ♥” but I am afraid you can’t be. Unlike things like scabies it is NOT necessary to treat any clothing or bedding as it cannot really be contracted that way as well a medical student would know. “No Nonsense Nicky” +” verity” Sorry again it IS a hygiene issue the main mechanism of spread is child (A) touches their bottom picking up eggs, perhaps in the loo, (perhaps not,) does not wash their hands, touches hands with child (B). Charming child (B) then puts their hands in their mouth and ‘bingo’. Of course
