Worm treatment: usually involves only one dose of medication, so further treatment in the short term is not necessary. Sometimes the treatment is repeated in 1-2 weeks. As an adult, you are less likely to have been infected with the parasite. Close observation of your stool habits and any unusual abdominal symptoms is a wise course of action.

Nothing special: The most likely issue would be pin worms, and normal hygienic handling of her diapers would limit any risk of spread it that setting.
