I was affected by malaria a couple of weeks ago, and I have used some havax forte (artemether-lumefantrine) and paracetamol drug as prescribed by my doctor. It has been more than 2 weeks since I exhausted the drug, and though I experienced some better health when using it, I still feel I am not yet completely healed of the malaria. I still experience chills at nights when my body shakes for minutes and afterwards be sweating profusely. I also find it so hard to sleep both during the day and at night. In addition, at times, I feel there is a lot going on in my head. I find it difficult to do any intellectual things lately. I wanted to ask if I should get another artemether-lumefantrine drug and use again. I am 29-year 59 kg 169 cm adult. Thank you.

Hi you seem to be having remission of malaria as you did not take any drug for killing the gametes. Take the same dosage again with a gametocyte drug. You can chat with me privately for more help.
