Pinworms: This is a very common parasitic infection. There are antiparasitic medications to treat this ailment. Sometimes, it is best if everyone in the household is treated at the same time. You should seek help from your physician.

Yes: Your doctor can prescribe a common medication which is usually taken twice, at onset and then repeated in a week to treat newly hatched eggs. As pinworms are contagious within a family, and often other family contacts are treated whether or not they are symptomatic. Laundry of linens during treatment is important as well.
