Treatment
The course of treatment is not long, and the perticular drugs that would be the recommendation for Malaria are : 1) Quinine ( inexpensive, but risky side effects ) 2) Plaquenil ( Hydroxychloroquine, expensive ) relatively little if any side effects, and no long term treatment, 3) Prednisone ( expensive and derivitive of sythetic hormone similar to hyrocortisone, a true steriod, but under proper care and short term treatment, not lasting detrimental side effects. ) . Drinking is never recommnded under medically prescribed care. But it is not a long term treatment for this illiness, so a short abstinance from drinking is a mild trade off. And Please remember under no circumstances do I recommend any medical treatment unless diagnoised and treated directly by your attending physician. These are only the facts.....not a medical course of treatment, or a diagnosis followed by a medical course of treatment.
Malaria can ruin a great vacation, and cause other medical issues if not addressed. See a Dr. if you are concerned.
