What Is a Hookworm Infection?
4. Nausea
A hookworm infection will also tend to cause the patient to feel nauseas, and the nausea may sometimes cause them to vomit. The patient may also lose their appetite and this, combined with vomiting, can cause them to lose weight. Hookworm infections will also sometimes cause the patient to develop a fever.
A hookworm infection can also cause colic in infants. This is a condition where the patient keeps on crying for no apparent reason. It can be very difficult for the parents to deal with, and obviously not pleasant for the baby either. If a baby does appear to be crying excessively then you should take them to a doctor as soon as you can.
