Hi thanks for asking question. In malaria according to species infection fever comes at periodic interval and relieve with sweating. Still if you have doubt regarding its diagnosis then peripheral smear examination for MP or malaria rapid card test has to be done. Here in your cases chances of malaria seems less. But still better you do your card test to relieve stress regarding it. Card cost only 50 to 100 rs. So this sensitive method can be used. I hope I have solved your query
