Pinworms from anus to vagina
My 6 years old daughter has pinworms and they are entering vaginal area. She is feeling very itching and inflammation in vaginal area. We have given bandy syrup 5 ml tonight and still see worms moving. What else can be taken care to treat this completely.

Greetings
It takes 1 to 3 days for Bandy Syrup to fully kill pinworms, so seeing active movement tonight is normal.
A second dose exactly two weeks later is required to kill newly hatched worms since the medication cannot destroy eggs.
You must treat all household members simultaneously, even if asymptomatic, to prevent a continuous reinfection cycle.
Wash all bedding, pajamas, and undergarments in hot water daily without shaking them to eliminate lingering eggs.
Keep your daughter's fingernails trimmed very short and enforce strict handwashing after using the toilet and before meals.
Apply a mild soothing cream externally and consult a pediatrician to safely address the vaginal inflammation.
