My daughter has Thread worm!!

Shall I keep dc off school? I've text all relevant people we have seen in the last week or so.

Wwyd?

I would give her the treatment along wth all other members of the family and then go round and antibac all door handles and surfaces.

Other than that I wouldn't do anything. Its very common (which is why it circulates a lot when they're little). I'd probably tell the school too so that they can send a letter out.

I certainly wouldn't be keeping anyone off school.

Don't panic. It's easier said than done, my children have had them and I was an anxious mess but looking back I know don't feel so bad.

Treat her asap. As well as you and anyone else in the house. Wash towels, bedding, pyjamas, all surfaces, door handles, phones, floors etc. Wash bottoms every morning and keep to excellent hand washing.

Luckily my son had them at the start of the half term so I didn't have the worry of sending him to school straight away. And my daughter wasn't at school when she got them. But you would have to find out guidelines your school has on them. I'm sure she will be fine to go school once treated. But encourage her to wash her hands after toileting, before eating etc.
