I am 21yrs female from India weighing 58kgs and my height is 155cms. I frequently suffer from pinworm infestation. I had a Noworm tablet 24 hrs ago but still those worms are coming out of my anus and i am really scared because i think that the medicine is not working. About 20-25 live worms have come out till now. I belong to a upper-middle class family and no one in my family has been ever affected. I don't eat junk or road side food. what should I do? Please help me.

Hello dear,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic.
I read and understand your concern.
I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.
Pin worm is caused by enterobius vermicularis infection.
It will not caused because of the junk foods and roadside foods. But you probably exposed to the person infected with this parasite.
The drugs you are taking is right and you should continue with it.
Many a times a single dose won't work and you require a second dose at the end of week. Second dose mostly cures your infection.
Please adopt good hand washing practice otwrwise it will spread to the rest of the people in your family.
It can also spread via respiratory route so please protect your family through air borne infection.
I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.
