If your doctor diagnoses malaria, he will do the needful by asking you to do the Malaria test. If malaria is present, he will give appropriate treatment to your baby so you don't need to tell him what to do.
if the doctor evaluates

Note that if there is no need for malaria treatment, he won't treat your baby for malaria.
The doctor will know what's best for your baby from his evaluations and the test result.
