What You Should Know About Treating Malaria
28 Jul, 2016 1:05 PM
If malaria is diagnosed and treated promptly, a full recovery can be expected. Treatment should be started as soon as a blood test confirms malaria.
Many of the same antimalarial medicines used to prevent malaria can also be used to treat the disease. However, if you've taken an antimalarial to prevent malaria, you shouldn't take the same one to treat it. This means it's important to tell your doctor the name of the antimalarials you took.
The type of antimalarial medicine and how long you need to take it will depend on:
• The type of malaria you have
• Where you caught malaria
• The severity of your symptoms
• Whether you took preventative antimalarial tablets
• Your age
• Whether you're pregnant
Your doctor may recommend using a combination of different antimalarial to overcome strains of malaria that have become resistant to single types of medication.
Antimalarial medication is usually given as tablets or capsules. If someone is very ill, it will be given through a drip into a vein in the arm (intravenously) in a hospital.
Treatment for malaria can leave you feeling very tired and weak for several weeks.
