YUCK - just seen a worm in DS's poo!

[howtodecide]

So DS (3) has very recently potty trained - still using the potty mostly. This evening he did a poo on the potty and I spotted a threadworm - I'm not hugely surprised - its been a battle getting him to wash his hands. What do I need to do now? Can I just go to the pharmacy in the morning or is it a GP job? Do I need to give DD the treatment too?

Everyone in the house needs to be treated and you need to wash all sheets and towels, wear undies to bed for a couple of weeks and be vigilant about hand washing. I went to GP but you can go to pharmacy I think. There is a medicine for the kids and tablets for the grownups. One dose each now and another in 2 weeks.

thanks ANgryFeet. Will pop to pharmacy in the morning.
