Can I Get Medicine Without Expected Prescription?
Usually, pharmacies require prescriptions to be issued by a local doctor to ensure its validity. In this case, since you have a prescription from the UK, the pharmacy may not be able to fill it. My recommendation would be to schedule an appointment with a physician locally who can assess your condition and provide a new prescription accordingly. This way, you can ensure you're receiving the right medication safely.

Is fever dangerous for my 90-year-old mother surfing?
At her age, fevers can be a sign of an underlying infection, such as a urinary tract infection or pneumonia. As we age, our immune system weakens, making us more susceptible to infections. In fact, it's essential to monitor her temperature and make sure she stays hydrated. I recommend contacting her physician right away for a proper evaluation. They may want to do some tests to determine the cause of the fever and prescribe appropriate treatment.

Can Eating the Fruit of the Kaner Tree Cause Death?
No, I suppose that one accidentally eating a piece of a kaner (oleander) fruit is not very likely to kill. Yet, it is a very poisonous plant and any of its parts will cause very severe symptoms e.g. vomiting, diarrhea, abnormal heartbeat, or even death. If you or somebody associated with you accidentally partakes in the substance of the plant kaner, then first aid treatment is a must. Please see a gastroenterologist or go to the emergency room as early as possible.

Its actually not uncommon to experience weakness, tiredness, confusion, and headaches after completing certain types of malaria treatment. Some medications can stay in your system for a while even after you've finished the course. In fact, these symptoms could be due to the medication's side effects or possibly even a lingering infection. I would recommend reaching out to your physician to discuss your symptoms.
