Internal Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the confirmed case of pin worm infection (Enterobious vermicularis) so it can be best managed with Mebendazole 100 mg once in a week for three weeks and if this is not the confirmed case of infestation then it is useless to take the medicine.
If you do have some symptoms that creates the doubt for worm infestation, actually it has to be seen for other condition also, like allergic condition, nonspecific symptoms and others.
I would suggest to get done the stool examination.
hope this information helps.
