In our last visit to my daughter's pedia she asked me to deworm her. I havd the impression it is a routine that pedia does.

Make sure you only use medication from your doctor. Wash all sheets and bedding in very hot water and dry on hot air. Keep her hands clean. Yes, you will witness them being expelled as she gets rid of them. Keep her away from whomever gave them to her until they are fully treated. Good luck, I know it's an icky problem but it should be cleared up soon if you do all of the above.

Did she have pinworms or something? If so, then they will pass with the stools, after treatment. You'll need to clean the house THOROUGHLY!!! Get a nail brush or small toothbrush to clean under the nails as much as possible. (this is where the eggs end up after kids scratch) Wash all the linens in HOT water, and sanitize every doorknob.
Good luck!

Does your daughter have symptoms?
Symptoms:
* Severe anal itching, more so at night
* Itching on the soles of the patients feet may suggests hookworms; in some, this may be accompanied by a rash, coughing bloody sputum, and fever, followed by loss of appetite, diarrhea, palpitations, fatigue and anemia.
* Diarrhea and cramping that last up to 7 days, followed by a fever, muscle pain, facial swollen around the eyes and conjunctivitis (pink eye); may be signs of trichinosis.
* Weight loss and loss of appetite, irritability, diarrhea, abdominal pain and vomiting are symptoms of tapeworms.
* Breathing difficulties, coughing and wheezing, followed by vomiting, stomach pain, and bloating, may suggest ascariasis.
* Bronchitis; diarrhea, abdominal pain and flatulence; with small red lesions that may itch, may suggest threadworms.
* Any worm infestation can lead to respiratory or cardiovascular complications, but most are easily treated and cause no lasting harm.

it's regular deworming once a year...but you may not find the worm, just the eggs (seen only under the micoscope)

Dewarm? I have never heard of this, I would get a secound opion, I have 3 kids and I never dewarmed them, it's like your talking a bout your dog, and not your child.

Her body will start to get the nutrients the worm(s) were getting, and she will start to regain natural weight.
