Suggest Treatment For Hard Stools And Anal Itching
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...
My son is awake every night for past 2 weeks by severe itching in his anal area i have put creams on perscribed but the itching appears to be inside. I have also got my flashlight out in the night and looked for worms which I have not found. I am currently adding fibre to his diet thinking its constipation as stool is hard and have seen some blood. I am to the point where even though I don't see worms I want to treat him for them. Any suggestions?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per my clinical experience, worms can be possible issue without seen outside on surface.
In our clinic, we treat such cases with prophylaxis dose of anti worms, laxative as lactulose hydrochloride or others with high fiber and plenty of liquids.
Addition of sitz bath to daily routine will be best.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
