My 5 year old has threadworm, and took an ovex tablet friday morning. Whilst the itching has now lessened, Ive just checked her to find two worms, still alive. Does this mean the tablet hasnt worked or does it take a while for them to die?
Its only been a few days but Im so stressed. Ive done everything Im supposed to to stop re infection and we've all been treated and keeping hands clean at all times, but my festive cheer has all but disappeared. Meant to be spending christmas with the rest of my family, other kids included and worried about spreading it!
