I've had threadworms before, when I was a child. I remember getting tablets for them and my whole family took the tablets. I know I have them again. I've had them on and off for months but each episode seems to get worse. I think about getting tablets but then when I get around to it they've gone away again. I really want to get some tablets from my pharmacy but i don't want to have to tell my family as I'm embarassed.
I still live with my parents and sister, although I'm an adult. My sister has problems swallowing tablets and I'm very embarassed and don't want to tell my family that I have worms. If I take the tablets and don't tell my family, will it work? Or will I get reinfected? Is it worth just having a go of treating myself and see if it works?
I'm in the UK. Can I buy the tablets froma pharmacy without seeing my doctor? Is there a brand name of product I can ask for so I don't have to ask for "something for threadworms?"
