I have malaria for past 3 days. Today, my platelet count is found to be at 150000. Do I need to get admitted? I have taken the 3 day medicine for malaria but there is still headache and I am not comfortable with eating proper food. Please suggest what should be done. I am 23 year old male, 84 Kgs, 5'8" height.
