Yes, a worm infection can sometimes return even after taking a deworming medicine. This does not necessarily mean the medicine did not work. Reinfection can happen through contact with contaminated surfaces, food, water, or other infected people, depending on the type of worm.
Mebex 100 mg contains mebendazole and is used to treat certain intestinal worm infections. The treatment schedule can vary depending on the specific type of worm, so it is important to follow the recommended dose rather than taking additional tablets without medical advice.
For some infections, other household members may also need evaluation or treatment, particularly when the infection can easily spread between people. Good hand hygiene, keeping fingernails short, washing bedding and clothes regularly, and maintaining proper food hygiene can help reduce the risk of reinfection.
If symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, or itching return after treatment, it is better to consult a healthcare professional. They can determine whether the infection has returned or whether another condition may be causing the symptoms.
