Worms (Yuk)

DD had worms on Monday so I treated us all with Ovex and DD with Pripsen as she is under 2. Today I saw some more wrigglies in her poo. Should I treat her again or does it take time to work?

It takes time to work.

Make sure you does the whole family, and re-do everyone as indicated on the packet to prevent re-infestation.

Mega yuk, the turd that waves back!

40% of primary age kids will have them at some point

When dd had worms the ovex worked really quickly. The day after the medication she did a big poo full of dead worms and never saw any more after that.

I think you're meant to treat again 14 days later to catch any that were eggs at the first treatment and have since hatched.
