The Causes, Symptoms And Treatment Of Malaria

6. Symptoms Of Uncomplicated Malaria

Individuals who suffer from uncomplicated malaria may eventually develop severe malaria if the disease is not treated or if they have an impaired immune system. Symptoms of uncomplicated malaria include flu-like symptoms, fever, chills, shivering, sensations of feeling cold, headaches, vomiting, fatigue, and sweats that eventually return to a normal temperature. Seizures are common in children with uncomplicated malaria. Symptoms may last anywhere from six hours to several days. Seek immediate treatment if a fever develops after a recent mosquito bite.
