I’ve just treated my daughter who’s friend had them and she also has symptoms.

i feel paranoid now that i have them but I’m breastfeeding and baby is 6.5 months.

wondering what the best thing to do is. It says on the box everyone in house should be treated except if breastfeeding. Online some places say it’s absolutely fine. Others now.

just wondered what’s everyone’s take.

on a positive note have seen such an amazing improvement on my daughters health in a few days From the treatment! Under eye bags almost gone and sleeping so well.

I did but DD was about 18 months, the pharmacy said I had to go to the GP for advice, which I did and he prescribed them for me.

Ask the pharmacist. Threadworms are on form recently. My DC class has them mine were treated not long ago

thanks. Yeah il give them a call tomorrow and ask. I ordered them from an online pharmacy so didn’t speak with anyone. Probably best.

Good luck! Look up hygiene routines the shower in the morning is the most effective way to rid them!
