Tummy worms

Hello!! I have a suspicion that my 6 year old has worms in her belly. She has been complaining of tummy aches for a year now, doctors have done all the tests, and everything has come back clear.
I have mentioned it to gp that i think it might be tummy worms, and he said i could try some over the counter meds for it?
Do any of you have any experience with this, and what sort of over the counter meds have worked for you?
Would appreciate some advice. Thank you

My DD had stomach ache at that age and it turned out to be anxiety, even though she was such a smiley little thing. Turns out there's a big possibility that she has ASD.

Could this be an issue with your DD?

Worms don't usually cause any symptoms other than sometimes itching around the bottom at night time. If you want to treat, then a single tablet or spoonful of Ovex will clear them up in a couple of days.
