I have a fever and did a test for malaria, but the result was negative. Yet, the doctor started malaria medication for 2 days. Is it okay to take it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Malaria tests can sometimes be negative in early infection or with low parasite levels. If your doctor suspects malaria based on symptoms and region, starting treatment is reasonable. Complete the full course of malaria medication as prescribed to prevent complications. Monitor for worsening symptoms like high fever, weakness, or yellowing of eyes. If fever persists after treatment, you can book a Repeat Malaria Test and CBC to reassess.

View allI tested COVID 19 positive on 24th April and received treatment from my doctor. My HRCT score was 3/25 on 26th April and repeated on 6th May, which remained 3/25. I recovered and tested negative on 11th May. My blood reports (CBC, CRP, D dimer) were normal and within range. I also did a CBC on 14th May, which was normal. However, I still feel a mild fever in the afternoon and at midnight, although my temperature stays below 98.6F, and I have no other symptoms. Could you please suggest why I might still be experiencing this mild fever?

My 9 year old son has been experiencing fever, shivering, and cold symptoms for the past seven days, with the fever recurring during this time. Despite taking antibiotics, there has been no improvement. I have attached his blood report. What could be the possible cause of his condition?

I have had a fever for the last 3 days. I tested for COVID, typhoid, and malaria, all are negative. When I take paracetamol, the fever goes down for 6 hours, then rises again to 101 degrees F. It is now the 4th day. What should I do? I have attached my blood test report. Please kindly help and suggest.
