[|Human|] i am 14yrs old and have found little white worms in my stool when i go to the toilet. I took a combantrin (worm chocolate/ tablet) yesterday and the itching has subsided a little but the worms are still there and I am a bit worried that it is something more serious.
[|AI|]  Thanks for posting this question on Chat Doctor! I appreciate your concern regarding the worm infestation. This tablet is effective only to treat the adult worms currently residing in the intestines. It will not be effective to treat the eggs or immature worms. This is why it is important to take a second dose of treatment after 2 weeks. This is because existing thread worm or pin worms eggs in your environment can cause a reinfection. As a matter of good hygiene and to prevent re-infection you are advised to trim the nails of your fingers. Take care.
