Oh, malaria will make you shiver so much under three blankets that you'll feel like you're on a roller coaster in the winter! It leaves you incredibly weak, but luckily, a quick blood test and some targeted pills from the doctor will get you back on your feet in a week.

Yes, the high fever and body aches are very intense. Just make sure you complete the full course of malaria medication prescribed by your doctor, even if you start feeling better midway.

Malaria completely drains your muscle strength and energy. Focus 100% on recovery and proper nutrition right now, and only start light walking once your doctor confirms that your blood counts and energy levels are safe.

Beta, malaria causes a very high fever with chills. Along with the doctor's tablets, you should drink papaya leaf extract or warm Giloy water to help rebuild your strength and platelets naturally.
