Hello dear,
Pinworm are a common intestinal parasite.
It can be treated by intake of Anthelmintic (anti-worm) medicines like Albendazole/ Mebendazole preparations as advised by your doctor.
Presence of dead worms in stool is a good sign.
However, for complete eradication of the parasite, the dosage needs to be repeated again after 2 weeks.
Frequent hand washing and routine household cleaning measures will help reduce the spread of pinworm infection to the family.
Wishing a Good Health.
Take care.
