Patient's question:
The child just took Chemoxyd about a month ago, but now they're itchy in their buttocks again and there are small worms. Should we give it to them again, or is it too frequent? Is Chemoxyd not effective against pinworms? What other methods can be used to treat them? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Intestinal worm medicine is generally required to be taken on an empty stomach, as taking it with food will affect absorption. If you take it on an empty stomach and do not eat snacks within 2 hours, it suggests that your buttock itching is not caused by roundworms, but may be due to hemorrhoids or fungal infection around the anus. It is recommended that you continue to wait and see for now. Regarding medication, it is usually necessary to take it under the guidance of a doctor. It is advised that you continue to monitor for any changes.
