Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Worm infestation is common cause for itchy anus in children.
Kindly give her Albendazole in the form of Tablet or Syrup 200mg (if she is less than 20 Kgs) or 400mg (if she is more than 20 Kgs) as a single dose, which could be repeated again in about 2 weeks (if necessary).
Avoid giving her sugar and candy. She should get better with it.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
