6 week threadworm nightmare

We have had threadworms in our house for
6 f-ing weeks! I'm at my wits end.
Some people say just take the meds and it'll be fine.
I have changed beds/towels/pj/knickers daily for 3-4 days after treatment every time we use it.
I then repeat the treatment 2 weeks later but they have usually come back a day or two before then.
On the day and few days after treatment I clean the whole house top to bottom.
I'm so exhausted doing this on top of all the other jobs needed to be done for a family of 4. My two kids are 4 and 2.
Help!
Has anyone else been in this position? The thought that it only takes one microscopic egg to be ingested and we're in the same boat again is making me feel mad. Why does this keep happening!?
