I am 47 years old, blood group O +.A marketer in an electricity distribution company in Nigeria. I remembered in 2011 I had a malaria, the symptoms where different from that of the previous attacks. It was weakness no headache, to high temperature, only movements in my body visible on my skin along my muscles and shortness of breath. I did not treat it for almost a month. Later I carried out test and malaria ant typhoid were discovered. Since then till today the parasite has developed resistance to many drugs, for malaria ,resisted Artequick, lumphatrine, chloroquine etc. For typhoid ciprofloxacin, recently sparfloxacin, ofloxacin. Amoxicillin etc. What can I do, right now I am having typhoid and don't know what to take, secondly I have frequent malaria, it was not so before. Up till 2010 I will take only 4 tabs of chloroquine when I notice malaria symptoms and I will be free till the next 5 to 6 months. But now I treat malaria every 1 to 2 weeks. Lastly I am scarred, how do I improve my immune system? Okpanachi Sunday from Nigeria. Phone 2347061647282.
