Malaria is a potentially life-threatening disease caused by parasites transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes.
Symptoms can range from mild to severe and typically appear within 7 to 30 days after being bitten. Common signs include:
1. Fever:
Frequently high and may come and go.
2. Chills and Sweating:
Episodes of intense chills followed by heavy sweating as the fever fluctuates.
3. Headache:
Often severe and persistent.
4. Muscle and Joint Pain:
Generalized body aches and soreness.
5. Fatigue:
Unusual tiredness and weakness.
6. Nausea and Vomiting:
Occasionally accompanied by diarrhea.
7. Anemia:
Caused by the destruction of red blood cells by the parasites.
8. Cough:
A dry cough may develop in some cases.
9. Abdominal Pain:
Pain in the stomach area, sometimes severe.
Severe cases of malaria can lead to dangerous complications like organ failure, seizures, and coma, making urgent medical care essential.
Mosquitoes aren’t just annoying — they carry dangerous diseases like malaria and dengue. If you experience symptoms, seek medical attention without delay.
