What Is Malaria?
5. Symptoms
To begin with, the patient is likely to feel as though they have the flu, or similar. Perhaps the most typical symptoms of malaria are a fever and chills, both of which can begin mild and get worse. A headache is another potential symptom, and the patient is also likely to feel fatigued.
Muscle pain is another likely symptom, and many patients will also experience nausea and vomiting. Patients with malaria will also tend to undergo what are known as malaria attacks.
