Symptoms and Treatments of Stool Parasites
When To Call a Doctor
People with stool parasite infections may not realize it. Symptoms frequently resemble many other illnesses and infections. It's best to consult a doctor for certain symptoms, including vomiting for more than two days, unexplained fever, unintended weight loss, extreme fatigue or lethargy and dehydration.
Visible blood or pus in stools also requires medical attention. Diarrhea in young children can be especially dangerous, so it's best to see a doctor if diarrhea lasts more than one day.11.
