Please, which antimalaria drug can be taken by a mother of 5 weeks old baby?

Paediatrician

We frown at self medication, please let her see her doctor for diagnosis and treatment. You cannot diagnose malaria on your own. There are some safe malaria medications for breastfeeding mums but Only her doctor would make that prescription after evaluation of her symptoms.

Best Answer

Kindly see a doctor for confirmation of the Malaria diagnosis first and the appropriate antimalarials will be prescribed. Nursing mothers can take most of the ACT antimalarials
