Malaria is a mosquito-borne parasite — fever, chills, headache and a child who looks washed out.

Travel or a stay in an endemic belt matters. We test before treating, because the medicine depends on the species and how sick the child is.

Understand

What we explain in clinic

Chills + fever

Feel

Shivering, then heat, then sweat — sometimes every other day.

Anopheles

Why

Dusk bites and travel history are as important as the thermometer.

Severe

Danger

Drowsiness, very pale colour, or no urine means severe malaria.

Nets

Prevent

Nets, repellents and completing the full medicine course.

Evaluation

What we look for

Test first

Confirm

A smear or rapid test — we do not treat ‘just in case’ blindly.

Fluids

Support

Fever and vomiting dry a child quickly.

Species

Medicine

The drug and duration follow the report and the child’s weight.

Travel

Next trip

Prophylaxis advice if the family will travel again.

At Grace Clinic

How care is planned

01

Listen first

We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.

02

Examine & chart

Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.

03

Treat & follow

A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.

When to book

Urgent care for fever with drowsiness, jaundice, or a child who has just returned from a malaria area and looks very sick.
