Ive noticed this morning I’ve got pinworms, I’ve had a itchy anus for a few days and just brushed it off the today I went to the toilet and noticed white moving worms in my poo, I went straight to the pharmacy and got Ovex. Hoovered everywhere, dusted, washed beddings and towels and emptied all the wash baskets it’s got in my head with everything I pick up I’m thinking what if it’s got eggs on.
Ive got a older daughter who’s 4 I’m not sure if she had them and I’ve caught them off her, I checked her bum hole but couldn’t see anything I will check her poo when she does one. She has had some ovex as well.
My question is obviously I know to wash the towels and underwear/pjs every day but what about the bedding? Have I got to strip it all every day or will it be save enough by wearing knickers and pjs? Also sitting on the sofa are the eggs going to go on there?
I also don’t know how to explain all of this to my daughter I got her to have the medicine tonight and told her that she’s got to have some because mummy’s poorly and I don’t want her or daddy to get poorly. And then when I asked her to put knickers on as well as pjs she kept asking why which I didn’t know the answer for, so advice with this please.
