A positive test for Malaria should be treated promptly under a doctor?s guidance because the exact medicine depends on the type of malaria and its severity. Please start and complete the antimalarial treatment prescribed by your doctor exactly as advised. Rest well, drink plenty of fluids/ORS, and you may use Paracetamol for fever if recommended. Avoid stopping medicines early even if you feel better. Seek urgent medical care immediately if you develop breathing difficulty, repeated vomiting, confusion, seizures, yellowing of eyes, severe weakness, or reduced urine output, as these can be signs of severe malaria.
