What kind Malaria?: How ill is she? What has been tried? How critical is that she breastfeed? Can she temporarily pump and dump the milk? The doctor at the scene needs to help you make these very important decisions--too many variables and too many drugs to give an answer in this tiny box. Choices do exist. The only outcome worth having is healthy mom, healthy baby.
