Recurrant threadworms and treating a 6 month old.

Gah! The little blighters are back again and I'm beside myself because now I think DD 2 has them too and she's only 6 months old.
DD1 has had several bouts in the last year treated with pripsen or ovex and I am constantly scrubbing and washing. I've spoken to the nursery too but as soon as she's clear they are back again.
It's only been 4 weeks since dd1 (and DH and I) were treated last. Gp said not to treat baby then as she was symptom free but now I've just seen them in her nappy.

Please tell me it's not just us! Has anyone else treated a baby that young? Is it ok to give ovex again with only a 4 week gap?

Thank you for reading.

I think pripsen can be used in babies over 3 months old

Thanks for replying vodka. GP gave us pripsen for her so we're all dosed up now.
