I think ds may have them as he's constantly itching at night, and sporadically through the day he's (7) how on earth do I treat it?

Go to supermarket or chemist, buy ovex for the whole family and treat everyone.

For tonight wash his bottom to remove the glue that's causing the itching. Give him some baby wipes or facewipes and tell him to use one like toilet paper through the night and put it in a carrier bag. As soon as he gets up wash his hands, scrub his nails and wash his bottom again. Put pants on him under his pajamas.

Treat tomorrow don't leave it. You'll need to damp dust all touchable areas tomorrow (door handles, remotes, light switches etc) as it sounds as if he's had them a little while.

Ovex. Bear in mind it can come in syrup form which is much easier to give to children but pharmacists tend to dish out the tablet form.
