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

Hi,
Obsessive thoughts are not due to worm infestation.
Kindly consult a paediatrician

Hi. The itching needs to be evaluated and treated by a pediatrician. To be able to tell you if the symptoms are related to his infection, I need to know what the exact symptoms are for which he was taken to a psychiatrist and which started first, the behavioral symptoms or the itching.
Next Steps
Meet a pediatrician for the itching. Meet a psychiatrist to review the need for medications.
