Benzodiazepines have emerged as the mainstay of symptomatic therapy for tetanus. Diazepam is the most frequently studied and used drug; it reduces anxiety, produces sedation, and relaxes muscles. Lorazepam is an effective alternative. High dosages of either may be required (up to 600 mg/day).
What Are the Causes of Pinworms? According to the Centers for Disease Control, pinworms account for the most common parasitic infection caused by worms, infecting around 40 million people in the United States. Pinworms affect primarily preschool- and school-aged children, although institutionalized people and their caretakers are also at risk.
If your child has pinworms, he'll probably scratch and complain of itching around the anus, especially at night. If your child is a baby, he won't be able to tell you what the problem is, of course, but disturbed sleep and fussiness caused by nighttime itching are big tip-offs.rom there, female pinworms migrate out of the child's intestines to lay their eggs on his anus. As the worms move, they cause intense itching that can disrupt sleep. When the child scratches his itchy bottom, the eggs get under his fingernails, and another cycle begins when he puts his hands in his mouth.
