How to treat pinworms in a child’s anus?

Answer

Albendazole: Taken orally, a single dose of 50-100mg can achieve a cure rate of 90%. If taken twice a day or once daily for three consecutive days, the cure rate can reach 100%. Regularly disinfect clothing, toys, and utensils. You can use a 0.5% sulfur solution to treat for 5 minutes, or a 0.05% iodine solution to treat for 1 hour, which can kill all the eggs. This low-concentration iodine is non-irritating to human skin and is an effective and simple disinfectant.
