Worms in a one year old?

How do I get rid of them? We’ve treated the whole house and the baby (he had a half dose as recommended by the pharmacist) but the worms are definitely still visible 24 hours after the medication. Is there something the GP can prescribe?

It wouldn't work that quickly and you need to repeat the dose in 2 weeks time.

The worms get starved to death so it can take a few days for them to die

Ok good to know thanks! It said a one time dose so wasn’t sure how quickly it worked.
