hi, my family and I have been affected by pinworms twice in the last 7 months and recently I have been seeing changes in my stool such as yellowish brown stringy mucus and I am worried we may have worms again. Also Im confused why the meds seemingly have not worked?
Hi, Recurrence of worm infestation very common and having affecting other family members are also common. Important is to keep personal hygiene of whole family properly maintained. Keep nails well cut and see that there is no collection of dirt of any kind under nails which usually carries ova or cyst of worms giving recurrence of infection to self and other family members. Go for anti-worm course Like Albendazole to all family members. You can repeat the course after one to two weeks to eradicate the infection. Ok and take care.
