Joint Pain and Malaria

January 7, 2012 By Malaria Q&A Leave a Comment

QUESTION

Could an onset of joint pain and swelling plus hurting all over be a residual for someone who has had malaria?

ANSWER

Once someone has been treated for malaria, they should not experience any further residual effects, particularly if the infection was uncomplicated and treated using oral medication. Joint pain, swelling and pain could well be indications of another infection, and so medical advice should be sought immediately.
