How do you know you have worms?  If a Dr told you, you should continue with medical care immediately.  If you haven't gone to a Dr. GO.

Here is an answer from another Yahoo answer question by Piggy56:

Infection by intestinal parasitic worms (geohelminths) is widespread throughout the world, affecting millions of people. Children are particularly susceptible and typically have the largest number of worms, which cause a number of health problems; making them unwell, affecting their physical and mental development, and affecting their attendance and performance at school

As numbers of worms build up over time, many of the health problems caused by these worms are chronic and can be long lasting. The worms can cause malnutrition, as they rob the body of food through loss of appetite so the children eat less, or through stopping the food being absorbed properly once it has been eaten. Children with chronic worm infections and large numbers of worms may be stunted and underweight. Heavy infections with roundworm can also cause bowel obstruction. Intestinal worms can also contribute to anaemia, especially hookworm, which causes bleeding in the intestines and loss of blood. The larger the number of worms, the more likely they are to make the children ill, which can also lead to the children missing school, and doing less well when they are at school. Chronic infections can lead to long term retardation of mental and physical development, and in very severe infections, even death

The different kinds of worms can cause different symptoms, and children with only a few worms probably won’t notice any symptoms. However, with heavier infections, common symptoms in children with one or more kind or worm may include:

Loss of appetite

Distended abdomen

Painful abdomen

Coughing

Fever

Vomiting

Diarrhoea

Listlessness and generally feeling unwell

People become infected with intestinal worms through contact with soil that has been contaminated with human faeces from an infected person. For roundworm and whipworm people can become infected when they ingest the worm eggs, either by eating contaminated food (e.g. fruits or vegetables that have been watered with water containing contaminated soil), or by geophagic activity (ingesting contaminated soil directly). For hookworm, people become infected when the larvae burrow through the skin of bare feet.

Eggs from adult female worms living in the intestine are passed out with faeces. These eggs will then contaminate the soil, and in warm moist conditions they will develop to the stage where they can become infective. These eggs are then swallowed – e.g. on fruits or vegetables that have been watered with water containing contaminated soil. Once they are in the intestine (the duodenum) the eggs hatch into larvae which penetrate the wall of the intestine and enter blood or lymph vessels and end up in the lungs. There they continue to grow and develop, before moving to the throat, to be swallowed back down to the intestine. Here the worms grow and develop to maturity and start producing eggs

Treatment for intestinal worms is simple, cheap and effective, In the case of roundworms, which are large, these may then be noticed when they are passed out with the stools. Treatment can be through a doctor or health worker, or by teachers who have been trained to treat children at school. As reinfection is likely to occur, treatment should take place once a year, or every six months if reinfection is a big problem.

If children are already unwell for some other reason, e.g. with a fever, treatment should be delayed until they are feeling better.

If girls are pregnant, treatment should not be given in the first three months of pregnancy.

Children with chronic illness such as sickle cell anaemia.

Wash all fruits and vegetables in clean water before eating (to prevent roundworm and whipworm infection).

Wear shoes or slippers (to prevent hookworm infection).

Water from septic tanks or other potentially contaminated sources should not be used for watering vegetables.

Defecate in a latrine, rather than in the bush or around the home or school.

Communities and schools should provide themselves with latrines and clean sources of drinking water.

Young children should be taught to use chamber pots, which can then be emptied into a latrine.

Children should be taught to wash their hands after using the latrine, after playing in dirty soil, after farming or gardening and before preparing or eating food
