Can I ask a Medical Question here?
Hello!! I am not sure if you help, but I am desperate!
My daughter has pinworm. She was going to the bathroom on Sunday and one came out. Needless to say I have been pretty freaked out about the whole situation. We went to the doc's the next day and got Vermox to treat it. One tablet now and another in 2 weeks. Well after reading about it, after an egg is taken in, it can take 3-4 weeks to hatch. I read that the Vermox doesn't kill eggs, just the worms. So if I ate an egg today, and took the rest of the meds in 2 weeks, that wouldn't get rid of it would it? I am confused!! The whole family has taken the medication, I have scrubbed, washed, cleaned, vacuumed, but I can't stop thinking about this!! I am so disgusted. Suggestions and any info is greatly appreciated!! Also, is reinfestation common???
