Hi dear
welcome to the HCM
Anal itching is usually by the pinworm (small worms). They are quite notorius in relapsing.
zentle to be repeatedly given 4 to 6 cycles.
please do not avoid medicines.
Avoid scratching of the anal area. Eggs may stick to the fingers of the child and may go again in the mouth for restarting the cycle of worms.
Repeatedly wash the hands of child.
Hope the query is answered.
