Hello doctor,
For the past few months, I have had frequent alternating cold and hot flashes, listless face, pale, emaciated and tired body. This phenomenon occurs twice a day at noon and afternoon. I also went to many different hospitals and did all the procedures but couldn't find the cause. Or a doctor diagnosed me with weakness, sinusitis or a cold,... but taking the medicine still didn't go away. However, I did have a history of malaria. So the doctor said whether malaria will recur or not? Am I having a relapse of malaria? I thank the doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Will malaria recur or not? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows: Malaria can recur, but your prolonged fever requires going to the hospital for examination and testing and hospitalization so that the doctor can monitor and diagnose you.
