Is My Daughter Having Helminths?
Sir, My daughter aged 18 months, recently three days before she complained about pain in rectum at 3 AM. Next day I consulted nearby Pediatrician and he prescribed "MEBEX" an antihelminth. I am still having doubt that she has got helminths. Is there any tests or diagnostic methods to find if it is true.

Hi,
You can go for her stool test for ova and cyst of worm infestation to rule out or to confirm helminth infestation.
Take small quantity of stool in small bottle containing small amount of water.
Ok and take care.
