How are pinworms typically treated?

Pyrantel pamoate is in most over-the-counter (OTC) treatments for pinworms. This includes Reese’s Pinworm Medicine and Pin-X. Prescription-strength medications are also available. Your doctor may prescribe a two-dose treatment of mebendazole or albendazole to help you clear the infection. The second dose of medication is typically given two weeks after the first dose.

You’ll also need to make adjustments to your personal hygiene and home care. Follow these tips:

Wash your hands regularly.

Keep your fingernails short, and refrain from biting your nails.

Wear tight underwear.

Wash your underwear in hot water each
day.

Change your sleepwear regularly.

Mop or vacuum the floors in all living spaces.

Wash all linens and bedding in hot water.


If you’re using a home remedy and your symptoms haven’t subsided within a few days, you should consult your doctor. If you believe your body has cleared the infection, you should still follow up with your doctor to ensure that your condition is no longer contagious.

If you’re using an OTC medication, your symptoms will likely subside within three days of your first dose. The infection is still considered contagious for the following three weeks. This is because any eggs that have been laid can hatch and further the spread of the infection. You should take your medication correctly and consistently to get rid of the pinworms.

You may also consider keeping your nails short. Pinworm eggs can become trapped under your nails. You can later ingest them if your hands haven’t been washed properly. Keeping your nails short may help prevent this.

Answer:

Eat more raw garlic, pumpkin seeds, pomegranates, beets, and carrots, all of which have been used traditionally to kill parasites. In one study, researchers found that a mixture of honey and papaya seeds cleared stools of parasites in 23 out of 30 subjects. Drink a lot of water to help flush out your system.
