My child has a pinworm infection. What is the recommended medication to treat this?

Asked by Female, 26 · 4 days ago

Please don't worry, pinworm infections are very common in children and highly treatable. The recommended medications are Pyrantel pamoate (available over-the-counter) or prescription options like Mebendazole and Albendazole. These are typically given as a single dose, followed by a second dose two weeks later to prevent reinfection. Because pinworms spread easily, it is highly recommended to treat everyone in the household at the same time. Additionally, wash all bedding and pajamas in hot water to eliminate any eggs. Please consult your pediatrician to determine the safest option and correct dosage based on your child's age and weight.
