To get over malaria, it is important to seek medical treatment from a healthcare provider. Treatment for malaria typically involves taking antimalarial medications prescribed by a doctor. In addition to medication, it is important to rest, stay hydrated, and eat nutritious foods to help the body recover. It is also important to prevent further mosquito bites by using insect repellent, sleeping under a mosquito net, and wearing long sleeves and pants. Follow your doctor's instructions and attend follow-up appointments to ensure that the malaria infection is fully treated.
