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.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

I have been experiencing fever and body pain for the last 10 days. Since the past 2 days, I have developed breathing difficulties. My SpO2 is 92percent, and my pulse rate ranges between 70 to 85. Recent tests show CRP at 39.1 mg perL, Ferritin at 215.4 ng per mL, Random blood sugar is 124 mg per dL, Chest Xray done, and RTPCR has not been done yet. Should I start any additional medicines or go for an RTPCR test? I am hesitant to do the test and feeling hopeless.
