No, antifungal medication such as fluconazole does not eradicate hookworms and Lotrimin is used for skin fungal infection. Hookworms are not transmitted by household stuffs such as bed sheet or toilet seat. OTC drug pyrantel pamoate eradicates pinworm but not hookworms. Albendazole and mebendazole are effective for hookworms.

Understandably, your panic level has increased significantly. Antifungals do not work for parasites and your best start would be with your doc and having a stool exam for ova and parasites. Once a diagnosis is established, your doc will be able to prescribe proper treatment. Self treating for self diagnosed conditions may be dangerous at this point.

Antifungals do not kill parasites. Hookworms are not spread though household contacts. You should see your doctor to get a stool examination to ascertain that you have worm infestation. If you do, your doctor can prescribe appropriate medication. Wish you good health!
