I have pin/thread worms HELP?!
Question: I have pin/thread worms HELP!?
im 13 and i haven't told anybody about it, im going to tell my mum on thursday when we go to boots so she can just get me some medicine!. I have had these for nearly 2 years, they have come and gone really!. Has this harmed me, i have also had allot of vaginal discharge and i have read these worms can make that happen, please give me advice!.
ONLY REPLY IF YOUR GOING TO GIVE ME PROPER ADVICE, NOT GO TO THE DOCTORS, because that makes me scared!. I have read its common in children because were with people all the time and making contact, but i am definitely going to get a tablet which kills them, but i was wondering Do they go on their own!?

Hope this helps, I know it is alot of info but your whole family will need to be treated!.
Medical Treatment
Albendazole (Albenza) is the most common treatment for pinworms!.
Treatment is a single tablet, which kills the worms!. There are different strengths for adults and children younger than 2 years!.
Because eggs can survive for a few weeks, you will have to take a second dose 2 weeks later to lessen the chance of reinfection!.
Mebendazole (Vermox) and pyrantel pamoate (Pin-Rid, Pin-X) also work!. They are also taken in a single dose and repeated 2 weeks later!.
Because it is common for everyone in a household to have pinworms at the same time, your doctor may recommend that everyone be treated at the same time!.
Your doctor may also recommend tap water enemas to help flush out the pinworms and reduce symptoms!.
After taking the pills, you should also do the following:
Get into the habit of carefully washing your hands after using the toilet, and before and after eating!.
Thoroughly launder all bedding, clothing, and toys to destroy any lingering eggs!.
Launder all bedding every 3-7 days for 3 weeks!.
Wash underwear and pajamas daily for 2 weeks!.
