Can threadworms make you feel below par?

DS had 24 hr vomiting/diarrhoea bug last week but still seemed very under par this weekend. Pale, teary, tired and no appetite at all. I noticed he was fidgeting a lot earlier so had a look and voila the poor little thing had worms to top it off. I just wondered as well as obviously being uncomfy with the itching can it make you feel ill?

Intestinal parasites can affect digestion and absorption and leave you bloated and gassy etc. I should think they would leave your ds feeling all icky :(

I hope he feels better very soon x
