Google. I'm sure ALL medical questions can be answered on the internet...

What are the symptoms of a tapeworm infection?

 

 

 

Most people who are infected do not have any symptoms. Those who have symptoms may experience nausea, weakness, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain.

 

 

 

Young children, especially those with a heavy infection, may develop a headache, itchy bottom, or have difficulty sleeping. Sometimes infection is misdiagnosed as a pinworm infection.

 

 

 

Contrary to popular belief, a tapeworm infection does not generally cause weight loss. You cannot feel the tapeworm inside your body.

 

How is tapeworm infection diagnosed?

 

 

 

Diagnosis is made by identifying tapeworm eggs in stool. Your health care provider will ask you to submit stool specimens collected over several days to see if you are infected.

 

Is a tapeworm infection serious?

 

 

 

No. Infection with the dwarf tapeworm is generally not serious. However, prolonged infection can lead to more severe symptoms; therefore, medical attention is needed to eliminate the tapeworm.

 

 

 

If you think you may have a tapeworm, go see a doctor...

This definitely isn't the place for advice on this, but why do you think you have one anyways?

Go see a doctor, if you have symptoms you may have something, but not the thing you think it is.

Very good point, lots of illnesses share the same symptons. My guess is he has a stomach ache and suspects theres something in there, good theory but ask a doctor.
