It sounds like this child may have intestinal worms, which is actually very common in young kids. A few things to consider:

- Pinworms are the most typical worm infection at this age. They're tiny white worms that come out of the anus, especially at night when the child is asleep. Scratching around the anal area is a common symptom.

- Their life cycle involves eggs being deposited around the anus while the worms are laying eggs at night. The eggs can be ingested accidentally by the child or spread via hands, fingernails, etc.

- Treatment involves a single dose of oral medication like syp zental 10ml once a day for one day that is effective against both pinworms and other common worms. This kills the adult worms in the intestines.

- Follow up treatment 2-3 weeks later is often recommended to catch any developing worms from eggs that may have been ingested prior to the first treatment.

- Good hygiene can help prevent spread, like washing hands thoroughly, especially before eating or after using the bathroom. You may also want to consider examining siblings or other household members.

- The increased appetite is normal at this age but could also be a symptom of intestinal irritation from the worms. Treatment should help resolve that over the next few days as the worms are cleared from the intestines.

- Monitor for improvement in symptoms, contact the pediatrician if any concerns arise after treatment. Most cases are straightforward to treat at home with over-the-counter medication.
