Remedy for threadworm for breastfeeding mother?

My daughter has threadworms and keeps passing them onto me. Even though I treated all other members of the family with the Ovex medicine, I couldn't treat myself. Without taking the medicine I am constantly getting the threadworms again and again and so is my 3 year old daughter. I feel I can't break the cycle because I can't take the medicine. I’m trying to keep good hygiene but it isn't working. Is there anything I can do?

Answer:
Firstly in the 21st century you really shouldn't be passing threat worms back and forth! Normal scrupulous hygiene such as frequent hand washing should prevent this, even a 3 year old can wash her hands. This should avoid the classic faecal-oral spread.

If you are breast feeding you can take Pripsen, which is available both over the counter and on prescription. If breast feeding it is best to feed the infant immediately before taking Pripsen. Grant 8 hours before breast feeding is resumed.

Answer:
As small children my mom used to make us eat raw garlic…whether it actually did the trick I don't know…I certainly remember suffering from threadworms a lot as a small child, so probably not.

Would the medicine actually affect your milk, do you know that for sure?
