Hi.... Many thanks for consulting in Health Care Magic. This is another intercurrent illness...not related to deworming. Usually deworming medicines do not cause fever. For the fever now you can use paracetamol in the appropriate dose. Hope my answer was helpful for you. Happy to help anytime. Further clarifications and consultations on Health Care Magic are welcome.
