Obsession/ Negative thought/ irritation
Doctor,
On 25th June I had consulted with a psychiatrist for my 7year son, he is under medication (tablet Zosert 25 and Syrup Mentat as mentioned earlier) today on 29th I observed my son has been suffering from pinworm and itching on anus.
I want to understand whether this obsession or negative thoughts are due to pinworm/thread worm infection and what is the treatment of pinworm/thread worm infection.
Thanks
