Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Worm infestation does not cause the stools to be red.
It is likelt to be due to
1. Entamoeba Dysentry
2. Perianal excoriation due to itching which could be causing red stools
3. Rectal Polyp

I would suggest you to get evaluated from Pedaitrician.

In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you happy and healthy life

Take Care
