Can Pinworms Cause Abdominal Pain?
Hello, I just go out of the ER for Abdomin pains on my lower both sides by my hips in the front and they gave me a cat scan and since I ve been discharging the dye they use I ve noticed pinworms, can that be the cause of my pain (its more like pressure) and is it okay to take OTC pinworm medicine?

hi.
This is unlikely that the pin-worms can cause abdominal pains like you described. Once you have noticed , please take the OTC pinworm medicines.
Bu t I think you need to take a course of an antibiotic and metronidazole for 5 days along with the probiotic sand anti-spasmodic medicines.
