Threadworms or thrush???

My dd 5 woke crying in the night that she was sore around vagina area, not itchy but sore. Looked a bit red but she does suffer from being red and sore there from not wiping properly at school I think but had never been upset like this.
So I put canestan on, said still sore so I gave her neurofen .
She eventually went back to sleep, I googled what it could be and threadworms came up. I checked her poo this morning ( the Joy's!) and cant see anything moving about. Says shes fine now not sore.
So should I get the threadworm stuff and all take it even though I've no actual evidence or treat it as thrush?
She also woke with a cold sore yesterday morning if that's relevant? Or should I see if its sore again tonight?

I wouldn’t treat fro threadworms if there are no worms, no.

Tbh I would have just put sudocrem on until I was sure what it was.

Hopefully she isn’t too sore now
