Patient's question:
A four-year-old girl, who had experienced anal itching for two days, now has recurring vulvar itching. The doctor suspects it might be pinworms. She took two tablets of Intestinal Worm Clear two days ago, which provided some relief, but today she is complaining of vulvar itching again. Should she take Intestinal Worm Clear again? Do deworming medications need a certain period of time to completely kill pinworms? How can one diagnose whether it is indeed pinworms?Doctor's answer:
According to the patient's description, it is recommended that you temporarily do not give the child Enteral Clean. The vulvar itching may be caused by a vaginal infection, which could be due to cross-infection between adults, or it could be due to cross-infection between the anus and vulva. The above suggestions are for the issue of "a girl child has pinworms, vulvar itching at night, and has taken Enteral Clean." I hope it helps you. If the patient's condition worsens, seek medical attention promptly.
