Malaria

What is Malaria?

Malaria is a severe and potentially life-threatening disease commonly found in tropical regions. It is caused by a parasite transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito, which typically feeds between sunset and sunrise. Symptoms of malaria may not appear until at least 8 days after the mosquito bite, and the disease can escalate rapidly, potentially leading to severe illness or death within hours of the first symptoms.

Symptoms of Malaria

Initial symptoms of malaria include:

  • High fever with chills
  • Headache
  • Muscle aches and weakness
  • Vomiting and diarrhoea

Malaria poses a higher risk to young children and pregnant women. Immediate medical treatment is crucial for survival and recovery.

Prevention and Treatment

Antimalarial Tablets: For those traveling to areas where malaria is prevalent, antimalarial tablets are highly recommended. The choice of medication will depend on factors such as your destination, medical history, and budget. Consult with a healthcare professional to select the most appropriate drug for your needs.
