A member asked:

Is it normal for the pinworms to still be alive and lay eggs about 6 hours of taking the meds...and for it to itch still?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, and longer: It can take a couple days to get full kill of the worms, and the eggs cause inflammation on the skin on the outside of the rectum. That can take several days to resolve.
