Hi
I did review your condition. sometimes heavy infection with any parasite when treated leads to massive release of parasitic antigens and causes the reaction which you have been experiencing, It is generally short lived and goes away quickly. they would rarely harm you. However, i would recommend you to consult a local doctor and get treated if they are causing you a lot of distress. if not, they are just a passing by reaction and you will most likely soon feel better
i hope this helps
wish you a very healthy life ahead.
