Is it ok to give baby malaria drugs when there is no sign of the illness yet? Let's say for prevention..My baby is almost 10 months

If malaria is confirmed after test. Usually, Artemisinin-based combination therapy (act) drugs like coartem, lonart, camosunate etc....but dont treat malaria without symptoms and confirmation test except where labs are not readily available

You are not to be randomly treating malaria in children mums....pls wait till the child actually have malaria confirmed with a blood test and then you can treat the malaria which the doctor will prescribe the anti-malariadrug .
