Answer 1

They are very common and they are called thread worms. Almost all children will have them at least once throughout their childhood! Go to the chemist first thing and ask them for the correct treatment. It is just one tablet and they'll be gone! Nothing to get hung up about! Don't worry!

Answer 2

It sounds like you have thread worm dont worry they are harmless. However they are very conttagious and can be caught by others very easy . So be careful no one uses the same towel or flannel as you . Make sure you wash your clothes and pjs daily.
They are usually caught by eggs getting under finger nails and them when you put your finger in your mouth it enters into stomach. They live in the colon and lower intestine.

A Gp can give you a prescription or you can go to the pharmacist and buy something. Be careful some tablets do not work and it can be quiet annoynig to get rid off. I would recommend getting medicine where you mix with water that way it flushes them out. You would need to take your medicine when you get it and then 14 days later. To make sure that all eggs have been killed. You need to tell your mum and other members of family so they can check they havent got it to. Or you could end up getting treated and them catching them again.

Also cutting your nails right down can really help to stop you catching them again and bleach toilet and bathing areas after each use until you know for certain you dont have them anymore

You could have a tapeworm. Tapeworms are parasitic worms that live in the gut of animals, including humans. However, they cannot be passed from human to human. They can be caused when humans consume raw or undercooked animal products that contain worm larvae, which includes pork or beef, and can be passed from cats and dogs to humans. People usually become infected by accidentally swallowing the tapeworm eggs passed from a cat or dog or consuming raw meat. Surgery is the main form of treatment for tapeworms.

Symptoms of tapeworms:
If they occur, symptoms may include:
* Stomach upset
* Diarrhoea
* Unexplained weight loss
* Swollen abdomen
* Anaemia
* Weakness and fatigue
* Cough
* Blood or the fluid from a ruptured cyst – may be coughed up
* Jaundice – pressure from an enlarging cyst may cause jaundice
* White or light yellow worms in feces.


Also, you could possibly have pinworms. Pinworms can be passed from human to human unless strict hygiene practices are observed. A grown pinworm is yellowish white, slender and about one centimetre long. Four weeks after ingestion, the adult female pinworm moves down the gut and exits the body via the anus to lay a batch of eggs on the surrounding skin. Medication is available to kill the worms and this is usually prescribed for the person who is infected and all other members of the household.

Symptoms of pinworm:
Pinworm infections often produce no symptoms but, when they occur, symptoms can include:
* Itchy bottom, especially at night
* Reduced appetite
* Feeling mildly unwell
* Inflammation of the vagina
* Adult worms can sometimes be seen in the faeces, and eggs may be seen clinging to the skin around the anus
* Irritability and behavioural changes.

Answer 4

Hi Sweety
First calm down its very scary i know but your have worms its picked up by touching something that's dirty and you have touched your mouth at some stage and the bacteria has got into you and it started a cycle.
You need to get some medicine from the doctors and a course of medicine will cure it.
They are a worm/ parasite that's your have picked up from something dirty or eaten and even uncooked meats it is common and really Hun medicine does work in about 24/48 hours. They are called cutaneous larval migrans and they come from animals and when they get into humans its the last straw for them and they don't last long, try not to scratch your bum Hun but you will be OK in a day or two.
Love and hugs
Julles xxooxx

Answer 5

You have Pin worms. They are very common in children and can very very easily be passed from person to person. Make sure anyone you live with gets tested and boil wash all bed sheets and towels. Typically larvae gets transported from one person to another by hands (if they haven't been washed after going to to the toilet). The females usually venture out of the anus at night to lay eggs, which is why you may be itching. Get to the doctors and he'll probably prescribe a chewable tablet of some sort. Hope this helps.

Answer 6

Firstly don't listen to the silly people trying to scare you. Threadworms is what you have. Very common and easily treated. The medication you need to purchase is ' Pripsen' or 'Ovex' (I think is the tablet form).You can buy this over the counter at a chemists tomorrow.They will not get any bigger,but do treat them asap as you will be uncomfortable. Try not to scratch, and if you do touch that area, make sure you wash your hands. Its best to tell your mum, as everyone will need to be treated in the family. I would suggest if you have any cats or dogs that you make sure their worming records are up to date, and another idea would be to clean all the toilet seats,bed sheets,PJ's etc.Hope you feel better soon.

Answer 7

Dont worry about it. These sound like harmless threadworms and they are very common among children and fairly common in adults. They are easily treated with an over the counter treatment that you will be able to get from the chemist. There is a one-off treatment tablet called ovex or drinks called pripsen that you take a week apart.

Answer 8

Ver common problem. They are thread worms. You dont have to see the doctor. You can get medication from the chemist. Oral tablet called OVEX. However, the problem is very contagious and you have probably picked it up from touch contact. Dont be embarrassed about it, get the tablet and take it. Use another in a week or so just to make sure. You might be best to mention it to your Mum in case anyone else in the family pick the problem up. Remember - OVEX tablet. Good luck.

Answer 9

Ignore some of these scaremongers. My son had this a few weeks ago. It is threadworms. You get it from water, fruit etc from other infected people handling them before you. It is very common in children and can be passed to others. You need a tablet from you G.P. or chemist. Wear pyjamas in bed as they come out at night and wash them daily. Use a seperate towel and get everyone else in your house to do the same and take a tablet. You need to do this for 6 weeks after the tablet (until they are all dead). It is not harmful just really annoying as they itch.

Answer 10

Appears you have a parasitic infection. Often times the meat that you eat can contain larva which hatch in the intestinal system and then come out of your digestive tract and into your bowel movement (aka poop). The undercooked meat could have been fish, beef, chicken, most often PORK where the eggs are imbedded in the muscle.
Just relax. You must go to the doctor as soon as you can so that he may prescribe a medication which kills off the worms and prevents other ones from hatching.
In the meantime, try eating some things which may help such as Garlic and Ginger and Lemon and drink plenty of water. Relax but you must go to the doctor as soon as you can.
