Hi I returned from Ghana on 26 th march having taken malarone to prevent malaria. I had diarrhoea for a week after returning and was treated with cipro which resolved it. I now have flu like symptoms which started last Tuesday lasted two days and have now returned on Sunday till present. Do I have malaria
Hello welcome to the ChatDoctorBrief. This is less likely that it is malariaDetailed answer...since signs and symptoms of malaria are swinging high grade fever, there is periodicity of fever, low hemoglobin, headache, malaise and some time hematuria. Still if you want to clear the doubt you can get blood malarial parasite checked 3 times at least to confirm the result. Hopefully my answer is helpful, Chat Doctor.
