Does this sound like pinworms?

My 2 year old cried the last few nights only right after I put him in to sleep. I held him a few minutes and then he was fine.

He does have a bit of redness around his backside. He also scratched that area a few times while I was diapering him which he never used to do.

I can try checking but I never saw pinworms and not sure I’d recognize it unless it was moving. Does the above sound like a high chance of pinworms?

I just checked and there were a few white dots there. Not moving. He had a yeast infection rash last week. How do I know if this is yeast or pinworm?

I started this thread and spent a good few hours panicking. It turned out not to be pinworms, bh!

It’s very hard to check for pinworms because they’re usually not out. You may happen to catch them in the right moment. To know for sure, there is a paddle test that you can get from the doctor. Otherwise, you can treat just in case, the medicine is over the counter.

It does sound like it. The worms come out as the children are falling asleep, or shortly thereafter.
