A member asked:

Not sure if my 7 yrs old has pin worms, can i give him antiox for cleansing? does he need to see his doctor first?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Antiox?: Not sure what antiox is. Could not find it on-line. The pre eminent sign of pinworms is nocturnal anal itching. The treatment is an anthelmintic. Everyone in the family should be treated.
