Hi

Thanks for your query at HCM.


You are having itching in perianal area. Mostly such itching is related to parasitic infection like enterobius vermicularis. I suggest you need to take antihelminthics like albendazole 400 mg once and repeat after 2 weeks after your doctors prescription. You can also get stool routine microscopy examination done. Do not take any medication on your own as it could be risky not even norflox as you took. If symptoms persists you can get evaluation done by local physician and take tests.

Take care
Best of health
