The initial symptoms of malaria are usually flu-like, fever and headache. These symptoms are indeed very common in other minor illnesses, making it difficult to identify as malaria.
Apart from that, there were also complaints of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If left unchecked for a long time, malaria can also cause anemia and jaundice (the appearance of a yellow color in the skin and eyes) due to a lack of red blood.
If this condition is not treated within 24 hours, it can become a severe condition. Especially when mosquitoes carry the type of Plasmodium falciparum.
“A parasitic infection that causes malaria that is not treated quickly can cause complications such as kidney failure, convulsions, mental disorders, unconsciousness (coma), and often leads to death,” wrote the Ministry of Health on its official website.
