Threadworms are a common ailment in children and are spread quite easily
Let’s take a look at how you can treat common ailments
such as threadworms in Neath with our NHS common ailments scheme.
THREADWORMS
Threadworms cause intense itching around the bottom, leading to
scratching and sleep disturbance.
Even though they are reasonably easy to treat, hygeine is really important
as their eggs can be passed on from surfaces such as
- toys
- bedding
- towels
- underwear and clothes
