Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 7yr male is experiencing itching on the anus. There seems to be some small (like black pepper) size particles left on the anus after a bowl movement. I have treated him with Reese s pinworm med and the itching has subsided. Now he only complains ever so often. We bath him every day. Should we consult his doctor on this?
Hi...by what you quote I feel that this could be worm infestation. I would suggest giving tablet Albendazole (400mg) one today and another after 10 days.

What Causes Anal Itching In A Child?
Hi...by what you quote I feel that this could be worm infestation. I would suggest giving tablet Albendazole (400mg) one today and another after 10 days. If he s anemic he might even require iron supplements too. Regards- Dr. Sumanth
