Question 1

my gf got malaria and typhoid long ago. will it come back?

Accepted Answer

Usually Not: Usually not unless exposed again. Once properly treated both infections are usually over. Rarely, some  people go on to become carrires of typhoid (can pass disease on but are not sick themselves).  There are 4 types of malaria each with a different lifecycle. Some types can relapse up to 5 years after intial infection.  Her doctor can review the spefics of her infections with her.

Question 2

what happens when you have had malaria and got treated  does it come back later in life wen u have moved to australia?

Accepted Answer

It could recur: In p. Vivax and p. Ovale infections, patients having recovered from the first episode of illness may suffer several additional attacks (“relapses”) after months or even years without symptoms. Relapses occur because p. Vivax and p. Ovale have dormant liver stage parasites (“hypnozoites”) that may reactivate. Treatment to reduce the chance of such relapses is available. Talk w/ doctor for tx. Best!

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Yes often relapes: If not given 2 weeks of primaquine, up to a third to people treated for vivax malaria relapse.  You need to be treated again by an infectious diseases specialist.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Still with residual: Some types of malaria and if with inadvertent Near adequate treatment can show persistent disease over long periods. Typhoid usually responds to therapy well unless bacteria is resistant. Best visit your local clinic or doctor to reassess your illness and probably rethink any combination of drugs that are effective  and tests if available.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Malaria &amp; Typhoid: Yes, these are very serious and require expert evaluation and therapy from an infectious diseases expert. You don't indicate where you are from, but these are not diseases commonly seen in the USA. Hope your friend responds and is well soon.

Question 6

i treated for malaria and typhoid and am feeling better than before. no more headaches or fever. the only symptom left  now is chills on my legs alone?

Accepted Answer

Malaria/typhoid: If you are feeling better after treatment, and back to your normal routine, I don't think you need to worry about chills on your legs alone. It will eventually go away. But if they become swollen or becomes painful, you may want to see a doctor as it maybe signs of something else, like blood clot.

Question 7

i treated myself for malaria and typhoid and i got well.. days later i started feeling fatigued, legs weak, and feeling like i have malaria again.. what is the meaning of this and what do i do?

Accepted Answer

: Self treatment for self diagnosed conditions without proper test verification often delays treatment for the real condition. Write down your symptoms and treatments and take the list with you for a doctor visit. They can sort it out if they have all the data.

Question 8

i have erosive gastritis and i tried nexium (esomeprazole) and pariet. i feel better when i took them,but my symptom come back when i stop taking. what can i do ?

Accepted Answer

Take longer?: For how long did you take Nexium (esomeprazole)?  Assuming there's no H. Pylori infection causing your gastritis, you'd have to take Nexium (esomeprazole) for several weeks at least to induce healing.  If there is an H.pylori etiology, you'd need specific treatment for that for help the condition.  If you had an EGD, you'd know if there was such an infection or not.

Question 9

is it possible i could still have malaria even after tests have come back negative?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Parasites detection may lag behind  symptoms of malaria sometimes for many days, if initial test is negative, it should be repeated every 12 hours until malaria is detected or ruled out.

Question 10

i had a gastritis from month and i took pills.i feel much better but sometimes the pain come back! can this disease be a chornic?

Accepted Answer

It is possible: There are various causes for gastritis and depending on the cause symptoms can return. Did you have any test done before you were given the medication or did you use an OTC med on your own?
