Good evening! So, having recently encountered headlice for the first time, I have now started to wonder about threadworms. DD1 has been saying for a few days that her bottom is itchy, BUT I haven't actually seen her scratching, she sleeps soundly at night, and when I looked with a torch last night I couldn't see anything. Tried to inspect her poo earlier but again, nothing.
Does this sound like threadworms? How do I know for sure? Do I treat on suspicion? Or do I wait for proper evidence? She is a thumbsucker so it wouldn't surprise me... thanks for all advice!
