How long does the stomach caused by pinworms last after taking vermox?

I've been treated with Vermox for pinworms, last one was about 2 weeks ago. However, sometimes i still feel a slight itching, once felt a harsh one, but only for 2 secs. Extreme hygiene, etc. was maintained. Could there be any other reason for this?

A member asked:

Why do I still feel itchiness (for some seconds, sometimes quite harsh, nearly every night) after treating pinworms with Vermox 2 (22) times, and following strict hygiene? Is it normal? Last Vermox was 1 week ago, have not seen any worms in my poo?
