Please do not give your baby antimalarial drugs if they are not sick. Also, all medications should be prescribed by a doctor.
Try see a paediatrician for proper examination and treatment

According to the World Health Organization, Newborns and infants less than 12 months of age are one of most the vulnerable groups affected by malaria. As mosquitoes cause this disease, it is important to keep mosquitoes at bay. Try to keep your home and surroundings free of mosquito breeding grounds, such as stagnant water.
Remove empty containers or old flowerpots where water can collect, especially in the monsoon season. Add a few drops of kerosene oil to coolers, open drains, small ponds and other places where water tends to collect and sleep under a treated mosquito net.
To prevent frequent Malaria, You can follow other preventive measures: Dress your child in light-coloured clothing. Dark colours attract mosquitoes, Dress her in long-sleeved and full-length garments to avoid skin exposure. As far as possible stay in air-conditioned or cool areas. Mosquitoes do not thrive in cold temperatures. Use an age-appropriate mosquito repellent and following the directions on the label. Use mosquito nets while sleeping. Use nets for daytime naps as well when the mosquitoes that carry dengue and chikungunya are circulating.
