What Causes Worms In Anus After Taking Vermox?

Hi, I gave my daughter vermox two days ago and Im seeing some worms in her anal region. should I give her more vermox or should I wait. She has no itching, I guess my question is are they dying and coming out of her butt or are they still alive. I did hear that vermox could take 3 days to to take affect.

Hi,
After de-worming medicine it will take some time to clear worms, ova and cyst of worms from gastro-intestinal tract.
Worms might be dead or alive.
For few days you may see these worms near anal region, it is normal process.
Usually one course is enough for de-worming.
If require you can repeat the dose after 10-15 days.
Ok and take care.
