Best Doctors for Malaria Treatment in Vijay Nagar, Indore

Malaria is a parasitic disease that is transmitted when a Plasmodium-infected mosquito bites an individual. The presenting complains of malaria are fever with sweating, chills, headache, diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, cough, seizures, chest pain and difficulty in breathing. Anemia and jaundice are also observed in severe stages of malaria. These significant signs of malaria are experienced by a person between seven days to one month after getting infected by the infection causing malaria. If left untreated, malaria can cause serious complications such as coma (brain damage), organ failure and finally death. The treatment modalities to manage malaria include prescribing antimalarial drugs like doxycycline, artemisinin, atovaquone, chloroquine, mefloquine, quinine and primaquine. Years later after the recovery, there are chances for recurrence of malarial infection. The preventive measures to be taken for malaria are applying mosquito repellents to exposed skin, putting screens on windows and doors and draping mosquito netting over the beds.
