Frankly speaking— malaria is one sickness that loves to do “back to sender.”
You treat it today, and before you know it… boom, it’s knocking again. But the truth is, most times it’s not the drugs that failed — it’s the little mistakes we make without even knowing.
Here are the 5 mistakes quietly bringing malaria back into your life:
1️⃣ Stopping Your Drugs Once You Feel Better
A lot of people swallow just 2–3 tablets, feel strong again, and immediately stop treatment.
Malaria is a stubborn disease — feeling better doesn’t mean the parasites are gone.
When you stop halfway, the remaining parasites gather strength and return hotter than before.
2️⃣ Using Herbal Concoctions + Malaria Drugs Together
That “agbo” plus anti-malaria combo many people take?
It can reduce the strength of your drugs and even cause complications.
If you’re on proper medication, stick to it fully.
3️⃣ Treating Malaria Without Confirming It
Not every fever is malaria.
Sometimes it’s typhoid, infection, stress, or even something entirely different.
When you take malaria drugs for what is NOT malaria, you worsen your health and still remain sick. Prioritize lab test before treatment
4️⃣ Reusing Old or Leftover Malaria Drugs
That half-used pack you kept from last year won’t save you.
Most times, the drugs are expired, weak, or incomplete — and malaria loves incomplete things.
Always buy a fresh pack and complete the dose.
5️⃣ Not Preventing Mosquito Bites After Treatment
Treating malaria without preventing mosquitoes is like bathing and going back to play in mud.
If your environment is still filled with mosquitoes, expect malaria to be doing return-to-sender regularly.
💡 Final Takeaway
Malaria is preventable and treatable — but only when you do things the right way.
Stop guessing, stop mixing drugs, and stop cutting corners.
