Threadworm treatment

So found wriggling threadworms on DD last week. Feel even worse that she had been running around naked all weekend around the house, scratching, and me not noticing :( So once we finally noticed I have been on a hygiene mission, cleaning sheets daily, hoovering, anti-bac everything etc.
We all took Ovex right away, and I'm wondering if its working properly? I found them wriggling on her bottom for a few days afterwards (she's still in nappies), then the past 2-3 days we've seen them only in her poos, but they appear dead. Haven't seen any around bum for a few days, but her bum is still red (maybe because of all the excessive wiping?) and she is still itching a bit. Are they still around??
When should we re-take another Ovex? This is grim..

You have to take the oven exactly 2 weeks after the first dose and everyone in the house must take it too.
Bitter experience here

Ovex not oven, bloody auto correct.
