What Causes Anal Itching?
My 8-year-old daughter has had severe anal itching for 3 nights. We saw her doctor today and he suspects pinworms and prescribed mebendazole 100 mg chewable tablets (one to be taken now, the other in two weeks). She chewed the first tablet 9 hours ago. When can I expect her to have some relief of the itching?
