We went to a malaria area 3 weeks ago with our son 9 months. he has a runny nose like a little flu. no fever. should i get him tested for malaria?

Common cold: No testing for malaria is needed now. Son had a common cold most likely. See how he does over the next few days and re evaluate. Thx Feel better!
