Pediatric Malaria

Pediatric malaria is a serious illness caused by parasites transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes. Children are particularly vulnerable due to their developing immune systems. Symptoms often include fever, chills, fatigue, headaches, and sometimes vomiting, which can lead to severe complications if not treated quickly. In areas where malaria is common, ensuring children sleep under insecticide-treated bed nets and receive preventive medications can help reduce the risk. Prompt medical treatment is essential to manage the disease effectively and prevent long-term consequences. Awareness and prevention strategies are crucial in protecting children from malaria.
