my daughter has now got her 3rd bout of thread worms within the last 6 months.
we use the usual medicines prescribed by the GP and the strict hygeine - but they keep returning and it is getting all of us really down
is there another way to deal with these?

You just have to persevere,the drug (Pripsen) will paralyse the worms so they can be ejected more easily.The female threadworm goes to the child's anus at night to lay its eggs.This is immensely ticklish so the child will scratch.The eggs will get under the fingernails and from there into the mouth,towels etc to start the life cycle again.Knowing how it works may help you to sever the life cycle..good luck.

Are there any animals in the household?
It's important to do EVERYONE in the household at the same time- Adults, kiddies, dogs and cats. Every 6 months.
Pripsan is very good for this.

are you giving a follow up dose 2 weeks after the inital treatment? think this might help if you do. is a common problem. just try to stop her putting her fingers in her mouth. good luck x
