This is the third time i have had pinworms. medicine prescribed by doctors hasn't worked so far. what do i do?

Common: It is common to have a re infection. Make sure the entire family is treated at the same time. Use the medicine twice 2 weeks apart. Wash all bedding and clothing, frequent bathing and hand washing and shout fingernails. All the best.
