Suggest Alternate Medicine For Worm Infection

My stepdaughter returned home from her time at her mom's and told us that she had worms in her stool both Monday and Tuesday night. She has received a dose of PinX but has not taken the second dose yet. Should we be concerned about my husband and I and my 3 month old son getting this?

1. Since the worms consume the vitamins and nutrients in your bodies for their survival, which can lead to malnutrition, low weight and anemia, so check with her body weight, vitamin/nutritional level, hemoglobin with suitable specialist and necessary Investigations.[ since age is small for medicines, thus Pediatrician will be most suited for prescription]

2. Preventive measures which can be taken at home are:
i. filtered or boiled water for drinking purpose.
ii. do not give under cooked or infected food, wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
iii. avoid letting him/her going/playing in infected water/soil.
iv. change his nappies regularly and also make sure that any family member or close relative is not suffering from the same.
PS. infected fingernails can be a source of contamination, so regular checking of under fingernails in baby as well as family members is must along with habit of washing hands before meals and after toilet and go for deworming of other family members also.

5. AVOID: cucumber,long cucumber,raw fruits, potato,meat,sugar,sour foods, milk,jaggery,clarified butter for 15 days) and give walnut,PINEAPPLE, peach.
