10 Symptoms of Malaria
Symptom #5: Diarrhea and Vomiting
Diarrhea and vomiting can also occur due to an infection with malaria. While in some instances vomiting may occur together with nausea, it may occur on its own or in combination with with watery diarrhea. If no other symptoms have been noticed, a patient may think that the diarrhea and vomiting are signs of food poisoning. However, symptoms of food poisoning only stick around for a few hours to a few days.
Therefore, if you can’t recall eating anything that may cause poisoning, or the symptoms go beyond a few days, it is possible that you have malaria. This is even more likely if you have other malaria symptoms. The best action is to visit a medical facility for testing and treatment.
