My daughter is suffering with thread worms and Vulvovaginitis caused by the little buggers. I have been to my gp who has taken swaps and given me a repeat prescription for thread worm treatment. ( as i treated us all on the first signs ) But it's been 7 nights and no improvement shes up all hours of the night crying from burning itching ect. I shower her as soon as she is up and night time hoover and wash all beds every night ect. Making surr hands are washed at meal times and snacking.Can anyone suggest what else I can do? No results back yet but I'm tempted to go to the out of hours gp as this is unbearable for her. Pleaee advise and help x
Hi Becky,
I had threadworms for quite some time. The way I managed to get rid of them was with petroleum jelly (I've read that coconut oil works as well). I applied it every morning on waking up, after showering, going to the loo and before sleep. I also know from experience that eating a little raw garlic reduces the itching a bit.
I hope that can be of some use..
Best wishes,
Good evening Peter,
Thank you so much for your reply. I spoke to someone today and they said to use vaseline! I also to sienna to the out of hours doctors and they prescriped some piriton and daktacort. Its been 6 nights of ■■■■ for us. Hopefully by Tuesday we should have some results from the gp as the doctor I saw today said she may be allergic to the thread worms!
