My dear at times when you hear a Doc say infection it does not really mean that kind of infection we think,it could be that the baby has NRA,Jedi Jedi ,nracha and the rest,the common words for them medically is infection,so take Note as for the malaria is possible may be the symptoms are still coming up and cattarh is also another sign of malaria,thank u

My son was treated malaria wen he was 3 days old n also treated for infection dat expressed like rash. Pls give him d drugs. In fact cough n catarrh is also a sign of malaria even in adult. Treat him now dat he is up n doing don't wait for fever n high temp, u won't like d experience dear.

@Triciakeys, nothg to worry mummy if its positive. Use the presribed drugs n put him on multivitamin n vitamin C daily to boost his immunity. Dt he is 4months dsnt mean he cant hv malaria if his system is,exposed to what causes it. I know u take good measures like mosquito net,net doors &all but is his body is always dt covered up? Just repeat d test,if positive gv d prescribed drugs,if negative treat d cough & catarrh

Give d baby his drugs as prescrubed n don't wait till he is running temp most time malarial comes with infectn just that he is too young for infectn n if he actually have it,it means he got it from u.n if u r doubting go to another lab first thing tomorrow just that I pity d small boy .
