#414: Pinworm Treatment for Kids: What Actually Works with Dr. Elana Roumell
5d ago00:14:53Tap to summarizeThe moment you realize your kid has pinworms is one of those mom moments nobody prepares you for. The embarrassment, the overwhelm, the pile of laundry you're already mentally sorting. This is the calm voice you needed five minutes ago. Pinworms are the most common parasite found in children and they spread fast. Not because of anything you did wrong, but because kids are kids. They touch everything, put their hands in their mouths, and share germs the way most of us share snacks. It happens in the cleanest homes, to the most attentive moms and it happens all the time. In this episode, Dr. Elana breaks it all down so you can stop spiraling and start doing. She covers exactly what pinworms are and why they move through families so quickly, the fastest treatment plan she personally recommends (including the one she used in her own home while pregnant) and the wash, hygiene, cover routine that stops reinfection before it derails everything you just did. You'll also get her doctor mom pro tips, including a simple bedtime trick that makes the whole process a lot more manageable than it sounds right now.
