Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
There are many symptoms for worm infestation, Few are: loss of appetite due to the pain or discomfort in the tummy anemia – especially with hookworms a rash – (urticaria) nausea itching or pain around the anus, where the worms entered - this is true particularly for thread or pin worms. trouble sleeping, because of the itchiness constant coughs painful and frequent urination due to urinary tract infection - this is more common in girls blood in the stool. Examination by a doctor and Stool examination helpful in detection of worm infestation.
De worming medications are better to once in 6 months. As worm infestation are common in children.
