How much longer will pinworms persist if i am taking medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OTC or Prescription: If it wasn't for the itch & the difficulty these kids have trying to sleep, we wouldn't need to treat this at all. Short term help using a cold wash to remove the irritating oil the eggs are laid in & soothing creams can help baby rest.The otc med &/or the chew able Vermox tablet will take a few days to work through the system & eliminated the pw's.
