5. Fever is a universal symptom to look out for when you have Schistosomiasis.
The fever may come on suddenly when the symptom appears. It’ll become so intense that you’ll have to stay home from work or school. Bedrest is the only solution until you decide to go to the doctor. A lot of the times fever can accompany other symptoms, such as being unable to eat and vomiting.
The water in the tropical or subtropical country is making you sick. Parasitic worms are inside of you because of your contact with the infected water. It is best to stay hydrated as much as possible. The fever won’t go away, but you still need to stay hydrated. Place a cold compress over your head.
Once you’re able to get out of bed, take yourself to a medical professional where medical tests will be given to help your fever. You’ll start to feel better once you get antibiotics into your body.
