How Can Intestinal Pinworm Infection Be Treated?
Hi I have discovered that i have pin worms since July last year. I have tried so hard to treat them or kill them with over the counter medicines and prescriptions of Zentel. All known dewormer medicines from pharmacies have not helped me at all. I have tried papaya seeds, cayenne papper with lemon juice, lemon only, garlic and keeping my body and household clean. Nothing helps. I am so frustrated by the thought of knowing from online researches that there is no getting rid of pin worms ever. They are in ones body for life. I refuse to accept that. I need a cure.

Hi,
You can take drugs like Pyrantel which is quite effective in severe cases.
You have to trim your fingernails and wash hands before food to prevent recurrence.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
