Hi there, sorry for those who are eating lunch! DS age 2 is complaining of itchy bottom over last two days but having a poo seems to trigger it. He can't keep his hands off and is writhing with it and very annoyed! I used a threadworm treatment last night, I haven't seen any other obvious signs but it wouldn't surprise me ( goes to nursery and hands always in mouth!) Just wanted to rule anything else out as when DD had worms she was mainly in discomfort and night. TIA!

sounds like worms. theres loads about atm. make sure youre all treated.

an extra wipe with a flannel or babywipe after pooing might help.

I know and the week before Xmas extra cleaning and washing! How long after you had the treatment did the itchiness subside? X

We had one extra night after dose then it was fine. Remember to clean regular toys and buttons.. computer keyboards etc.
