Malaria and has several similarities in their symptoms . moreover, there are still some differences between the signs and symptoms of typhoid and malaria.

Malaria patient tend to have nausea , vomits, chills , fever and diarrhea at times but typhoid occurs in stages and the signs show up gradually as the stage advances. patient may suffer from fever, abdominal pain, bleeding from the nose, lack of appetite and tiredness. Which later aggravate and signs such as reduced heart rate , diarrhea , and constipation start showing up.

One of the ways to easily know typhoid is when feeling feverish and antimalarial drugs have be taken and are ineffective press your abdomen if you could feel pain it is most likely the disease is typhoid and not malaria
