Are Loss Of Appetite And Teeth Grinding Symptoms Of Stomach Worms?
Hi, I have a 20 month old son and I am concerned he might have worms in his stomach. He was given a dose 1 month ago after a trip abroad. During the medication his stools smelled different. Now I notice a similar smell. His appetite is low and he grates his teeth. I assumed the low appetite was because of a fever he had a week ago and the grating of the teeth was because he was getting new teeth. Are these clear symptoms of stomach worms?

loss of appetite is one of the symptom of worm infestation but not the only sign and teeth grinding is due to vivid dreams ,sign of insecurity,or it can be a part of development.
