Vomiting During Malaria

QUESTION:

How can I reduce vomiting during malaria?

ANSWER:

The most important thing to do when suffering from malaria is to get diagnosed promptly by a doctor or clinic and then receive appropriate treatment. This is the quickest way to reduce symptoms of the disease, such as vomiting, as well as prevent progression of the disease. Once treatment has begun to be administered, your doctor or nurse may also be able to give you medication to reduce nausea and vomiting, but you should certainly consult with medical professionals before taking any other medication while being treated for malaria.
