A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contact your doc!: Current recommendations include chemoprophylaxis with anti malarial medications PRIOR to, during and after travel. The area to which you are traveling will determine which medication(s) you should take. Check the cdc.gov website for information specific to your travel plans. Contact your doctor ASAP so you can get prescriptions.
