What has the doctor said needs to be done to treat it?

Go to chemist and get some worm tablets. It's normal. Everyone gets worms.

[missfishlash]

Well no, everyone doesnt get worms, but you can get a simple tablet over the counter at the chemist

I know it must sound scary but it will be sorted once you have the treatment :-)

We had an outbreak of pinworms when I was living in a dormitory at university, I think it's not uncommon. Not hard to get rid of either! Try not to worry too much, and get some medication. At worst they are uncomfortable!

I've never even heard of pinworms :unsure: I've heard of thread worms, they seem to be the most common worm that humans get, spread like wildfire if it's going around schools.

The thing to do is go to your doctor and get the treatment, but I'm sure nothing dreadful is going to happen to you :)

thread worm and pin worm is the same thing. medicine from supermarket, one spoonful, then another one in two weeks, and it's gone

Threadworms? Really, really common, especially amongst small children. Easily picked up by adults. In the UK the big pharmacies like Boots do their own brand of medicine, or the branded one is Ovex. Not pleasant, but no big deal tbh. I would be thrilled if that were my only health problem.
