Are Threadworms Troublesome And Itchy?
I am 5 months pregnant and got threadworms. I treated the whole family but can I take anything ? It is very very uncomfortable, every 10 minute need to go to the loo as very itchy. I am cleaning them off the anus area with wipes, there are loads " coming out"... is it normal ?

Hi thank you for querry.
its called a pin worm or enterobeus verimularis.
As you mentioned you are t month pregnant though albendazole came in catageryc but in 5 month you can use.
Tab.Alnendazole 400mg single dose
repeat after 2 weeks.
personel hygine is important because its egg transmited via feco oral route.
other family member may involve.
Deworming of all family member must be done.
Hope the answer will help you.
wish you a safe pregnancy.
