The main treatment for malaria is antimalarials.
Ways to prevent mosquito bites:
- Stay somewhere that has effective air conditioning and screening on dorrs and windows. If this is not possible, make sure doors and windows close properly.
- If you are not sleeping in an air-conditioned room, sleep under an intact moquito net that has been treated with insecticide.
- Use insect repellent on your skin and in sleeping environments. Remember to reapply it frequently. The most effective repellents contains diethyltoulaumide (DEET) and are available in sprays, roll-ons, sticks and creams.
- Wear light, loose-fitting trousers rather than shorts, and wear shirts with long sleeves. This is particularly important during early evening and at night, when mosquitos prefer to feed.
