I treated my daughter with vermox 3 days ago for threadworms and she still has them?

Icky worms...: Give it until day seven, then retreat at day seven if they are still a problem. Wash hands! Antihistamines can help for the itchiness! Best of luck!

Pinworms: Often require 2 treatments 7 days apart and the entire family should also be treated. All the best.
