I've noticed that every time I get a fever, malaria P. vivax seems to be the diagnosis, and I'm usually treated with Resochin 250mg and Basokuine. The problem is, it seems to come back again after some time. I'm really looking to find a way to prevent this from happening permanently. Any advice on what to do?

To prevent recurrent malaria caused by P. vivax, you will need a radical cure, usually with primaquine or tafenoquine, in addition to the standard treatment. Ensure you complete the full course of treatment, and take preventive measures to avoid mosquito bites and reinfection. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to ensure there is no relapse. If you have frequent relapses, it's important to discuss this with your doctor, as they may recommend further investigation or a change in treatment approach.

View allI'm really concerned about the type of mask I should be wearing in public. Is a surgical mask necessary, or is a simple cotton washable mask enough to protect against viruses? Also, does hand sanitizer really kill viruses effectively?

I've recently had a VDRL test and it came back reactive. I also went through a VDRL in Dilation test and that was reactive too. From what I've read, this might mean syphilis. What should I do next in terms of treatment? I've attached my report for you to see. Can you help guide me on what steps I should take?
Based on your VDRL test results showing reactivity at 1:8, indicating a possible syphilis infection, the course of treatment typically involves a course of antibiotics. In this case, you will likely be prescribed Benzathine Penicillin G, administered as a single intramuscular injection at a specific dosage depending on the stage of the infection. It's important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and frequency of the medication. Regular follow-up tests may also be recommended to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment."

I tested positive for Covid-19 about 20 days ago and spent 15 days in home isolation. I just got tested again 19 days later, and it still came back positive. Is there a chance Im still spreading the virus to others? Do I have to keep staying away from family and friends, or can I start seeing them again? Also, is it okay for me to go back to work now?
