Hello dear,

The worms as mentioned in your post are Pinworm/ Threadworm.
They are a common intestinal parasite.

It can be treated by intake of Anthelmintic (anti-worm) medicines like Albendazole preparation, given in one dose and repeated again after 2 weeks.
Although medicine takes care of the worm infection, the itching may last about a week after medicine is taken. An anti-itch ointment will be needed to provide symptomatic relief from itching.

So, kindly visit your Doctor & get the medications as advised.
Frequent hand washing and routine household cleaning measures will help reduce the spread of pinworm infection to the family.

There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Wishing a good health.
Take care.
