Customer question:
Could a sudden body shake be a sign of the onset of a malaria attack? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Yes, sudden shaking of the body can signify the beginning of a malaria attack. Malaria usually causes cyclical attacks of symptoms, also known as "malaria attacks." These attacks often begin with a shaking phase, which is one of the characteristic symptoms of the initial phase of the attack. During the shaking phase, the person experiences severe shaking, chills, and a cold feeling. This is due to the release of toxic substances (toxins) released by parasites of the genus Plasmodium when they attack red blood cells. A high fever phase and intense sweating follow the shivering phase.
The entire malaria attack cycle can be repeated at regular intervals depending on the type of Plasmodium parasite. Different types of parasites can have different time intervals between attacks. In some cases, attacks may occur every other day, every third day, or with other patterns. If you're experiencing sudden body tremors and malaria is suspected, it's crucial to see your doctor right away for proper diagnosis and treatment. Acting quickly is essential to prevent the severe complications that malaria can cause.
