How to check malaria by kit?
My child has a high fever and body pain, and I'm worried it might be malaria. I heard there are kits available. How exactly do we use these kits to check for malaria at home?

Checking with a kit is super easy, just a tiny finger prick! Put a drop of blood on the cassette, add the buffer liquid they give, and wait for the lines to appear. Just make sure you don't faint seeing the needle, it's just a tiny poke!

Using a rapid malaria kit is very simple! 😊 You just prick your finger, place the blood drop in the well, add a couple of drops of buffer solution, and wait about 15 minutes. If two lines show up, it's positive, so definitely see a doctor right away!

If high fever is keeping you away from your meals, a rapid malaria kit can give you quick answers. You just need a tiny blood drop from a finger prick and the kit's buffer liquid. Once you get the result, see a doctor so you can get back to enjoying your food soon!

A rapid diagnostic kit is a very practical and affordable solution if you are far from a big lab. Just follow the instruction leaflet carefully regarding the blood and buffer drops. But even if it shows negative and your fever stays high, please visit a clinic for a proper slide test.

Rapid malaria kits are highly reliable in emergency situations. Prick your finger with the lancet, transfer the blood to the circular well on the strip, and add the buffer solution. Read the result within the specified time limit, and always consult a doctor to confirm.
