Brief Answer:
Albendazole 400mg as single dose!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed your information fully. This is probably caused by a worm, oxyuriasis. Albendazole 400mg tablets as single dose is okay. Take this drug and report her progress to me.

I wish her a speedy recovery. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
