What are some natural ways to get rid of pinworms? any herbs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: The medical treatment for pinworms is a short course of anti-helminthic (anti-worm) drugs, usually for 3 days. They have almost no side effects, usually are cheap, and are very effective. There is no reason to seek alternative treatments.
