Hi! I thought I had a yeast infection for two weeks, only to later figure out I have pinworms. I took Reece medication a week ago, and although I have had some improvement- symptoms persist. I know it is recommended to take a second dose next week. I kept feeling something so I re-did a tape test to only to find an actual threadworm! Grossing myself out completely. How long does Reece take to eliminate this problem. Do I need to get a prescription strength medication?
Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Pin worm infection is common nowadays. Reece is the only remedies for the treatment of pin worm it should be taken for 2 weeks if you have mild symptoms.it can go up to 6 weeks if you have severe symptoms. Along with Reece strict hygiene measures should be taken till your treatment period to avoid re currency hygiene measures like.1.washing your bedsheets and pillows daily2.cleansing the restroom each time 3.cleaning your nails each day if you scratch your anal/vaginal area as eggs are laid typically i that region. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.  Chat Doctor.
