No, unless...: If all symptoms of diarrhea are gone and you have no cramping, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, extreme fatigue or weakness then you do not need to be seen. If diarrhea returns, is severe or bloody, or fever occurs with shaking chills, or abdominal pain becomes marked, seek medical attention. By the way, if you have only just returned remember to take all your malaria medicine as prescribed!
