Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
you history suggests that probably your daughter is suffering from thread worm infection.
Improving personal hygiene and a trial with ivermectin 3 mg once at bed time as a single dose will improve the situation.
A second is repeated after one week if required.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
