Health Advice - Children's Illnesses - Worms

Thread worms are common in pre-school children (and occasionally trouble older children and adults). They are spread via hand to mouth contact. They appear as tiny cotton thread-like worms in a child's motions and can cause itching in a childs bottom. Whilst unpleasant, thread worm are not dangerous.

Ask at the Health Centre and we will write a prescription to clear the problem (infected adults can buy this medicine over the counter in pharmacies, but for safety reasons we ask you to consult with us when treating a child with these medicines).
