A: If your symptoms disappear, it is a sign that the medication is working as expected. You cannot directly transmit the infection to anyone.

Q: Are there medicines to prevent malaria?
A: There are medicines available that can be used to prevent infection by malarial parasites. These depend on the type of parasites active in a given area and their resistance to treatments.
