anyone had any experience with threadworm?

[thisiswhataluv]

rather embarassing to admit, but my 2 dds have caught threadworm
i first saw them on tuesday in dd1 poo,dh went and bought us dome ovex and me,dh,ds and dd1 had a dose, dd2 is only 2 and hates medicine...i went a bit mad yesterday cleanin and hoovering matresses,washing bedding on 60 degrees etc, i have been very paranoid that i have them aswell
havent seen anything in in dd1 sinc the ovex fingers crossed, just changed dd2 nappy and she has them i managed to force a dose of ovex down her before... im really worried that this is going to be a reoccuring thing
anything else i should be doing?

Threadworms are very common, don't be embarrassed. Tons of us have had them.

If you've all had ovex, they should go. Check the leaflet that comes with it about how soon it's OK to re-treat if they don't go straight away.

No reason for it to be a re-occurring thing.

thanks for reply, im getting so stressed out about this
ds had them when he was younger,i wasnt so worried because i only had him at the time, now i have 3dcs to treat so i am worried about reoccurence.

Just re-read your OP - did DD2 not have the ovex then? If she's got threadworms, you need to try and get it down her somehow. All the advice says to treat the whole family at the same time.
(Disclaimer - I don't know if it's OK for a 2 year old).

we eventually got ovex into dd2 today after forcing her to swallow it
