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.

Why am I weak, tired, and confused post-malaria treatment?
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.

In the meantime, make sure you're staying hydrated and getting plenty of rest.
