Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. As per the recent guidelines for malaria treatment, empirical treatments based on suspicion is not recommended. It is only reserved for the cases where diagnoses by blood examination is not possible. In your case, you have already sent blood for malaria testing. It should not take long to get the reports, so it would be wise to wait for the report and take definitive treatment based on the result. Treatment will slightly differ for P. faliciperum and P.viva malaria. I would advise you to take medicines for fever and wait for the report followed by definitive management based on the report. Hope this will be helpful. I would be happy to ad Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Take care.
