My poor daughter found a pinworm tonight after wiping her bottom. Just one. Understandingly she freaked and we went to see a Dr. ASAP.
I just cleaned and washed all my laundry this week. I know she was itchy on her bottom a few nights ago. I thought she just didn't wipe well enough, like she used to or something else was irritating her skin there. She's 13 and I thought this happened moreso to younger kids. I was told that it's from poor bathroom wiping techniques by other moms.
I just finished cleaning and disinfecting the bathroom. I've been cleaning around the house for days just cause it needed it. She needs to stop biting her nails, which the Doc said may have been the cause due to that she goes to a friends where there is a baby and another friends where there are other small kids. I got her to change her undies. I threw out the ones she was wearing when she found the icky thing. I'm getting her brand new undies. I just washed my bed sheets this week. Not sure if I need to do that again. Maybe just in case. She has a one time prescription pill and then the things will just die and she will pass them in her poop, apparently.
Is there anything else I need to do? Does one constitute to making this a huge deal? I don't seem to have them. Does the family get them all at once? Or am I in the clear? The Doc didn't really go into too much detail. He just left us after he gave us the prespcription. This wasn't her pedia.
