paracetamol is pain reliever and a temporal relief at that.

I have ask many pharmacist but non could give a reasonable answer. can paracetamol cure malaria they all said no. OK if it's only to relief pain why must I use it to treat malaria. they said I have to use it.

the malaria is not severe or not that disturbing and I can go on with anti malaria medicine without using paracetamol which they want me to.

it's all about using few medication as possible. medication that is needy and not unnecessary loads or dosages.

I think it's to help with the symptoms associated with malaria. Headache, fever and all

what if you decide not to take paracetamol? you can withstand the symptoms. would it stop the anti malaria medicine from doing it works? if there any disadvantages other than symptoms

It can take two days for anti-malaria therapy to begin to show noticeable signs of improvements, and people might want to be fit enough to have their schooling or job under way in the soonest possible time so paracetamol is peescribed to ameliorate the symptoms you feel so normal day to day activities can ensue, long enough for the anti-malaria therapy to clear the headache. Because the headache is not in itself a disease, but symptom of disease. So once the anti-malaria clears the malaria plasmodium in the blood the headache will go. The paracetamol is just to alleviate your pains and fever until it does clear them.

On the side, some malaria medications contain paracetamol ( para-aminosalicyclic acid ), so some people may have taken paracetamol and anti-malaria without even knowing it.

I won't stop the antimalarial from doing it's work, just like we are different so is our body, some people will withstand it while some will not, when a drug is being given in the hospital some considerations are taken like, the age, gender, body weight, those with special medical needs like diabetes, sickle cell etc, note that high body temperature lowers the blood content in your body.
