I was wondering whether any of you M ners would be able to help?

My Ds is nearly four and is constantly hungry - always asking for food and always eats it all ( and eats all his dinner) - He is normal size and not under or over weight ?? he also itches his bottom a bit not loads but he always has his hands down his trousers at least once a day ( not sure if this is a man thing ) have never had experience of worms so have no idea ??

Do i have to take if to doctors or can i get something over the counter??

TIA xx

Not so sure, I had worms when I was small, I never ate anything extra, just had the itchy bottom. My mum got 2 tablets from the chemist. One of them killed the worms the other give me the runs to get rid of them

I don't think pinworms are associated with eating more. Kids are just like that, sometimes.

Worms would generally make his bottom itch (not willy) a lot, particularly at night.
