What to do if i have pinworms or another type of parasite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Intestinal parasite: Treatment of intestinal parasites usually involves oral medications following testing of the stool for O&P to identify and confirm the infection. It is important to consider all sources from which the parasite could have originated (family member, pet, well) and appropriate action taken to prevent recurrence.
