Sometimes, there are actually some sickness that even before it becomes so severe, we can treat it if only we pay close attention to the symptoms. Quite a pity that most of the time, we always ignore those symptoms that try to point to us what might be wrong in our body system. If there is one common disease or sickness that have been affecting a lot of people in the world is malaria. Malaria which is called by Plasmodium parasite but most of the time affect human beings when the female Anopheles mosquitoes bite someone.

It is quite common that we always associate malaria whenever we see symptoms like fever, sweating and probably headache. But the most devastating thing is the fact that malaria can be in our body system and we will not know. In fact, it can even manifest through some symptoms but probably because we are not really familiar with those symptoms, as ignore them and at the end of the day, it makes it to be so severe in our body system that it even leads to death sometimes.

The first symptom that might show you might have malaria in your body is when you start experiencing Persistent Headaches that may not go instantly and most of the time, those headaches always comes with fever also. In fact, you might start experiencing stress, migraine which most of the time we always ignore because we always think it is not really that serious. In fact, there are times we will use painkillers which is not good. Painkillers will not treat the infection, it will just eliminate the pain away.

The second one which is always common as a symptom of malaria is when you start experiencing general body weaknesses and fatigue. Similar to the first one also. We always ignore it and I quite understand the reason why we always ignore this own. We always think it is due to stress but it is beyond that. Sometimes due to the destruction of the red blood cells by the Plasmodium parasite I make mention earlier, it will lead to fatigue in the body system. We often dismiss it until it becomes something big in our body system.

The third symptom I will like to talk about is constant vomiting and abdominal pain. Well for this one, people always pay attention to it. When you start experimenting abdominal pain, some people might think it is ulcer or typhoid fever but it is not always so like that. And also sometimes when one starts vomiting, they might lead it to diarrhea but these are some of the hidden symptoms of malaria that we need to pay attention to at the early stage.

When you also start experiencing joint or muscle pain, these can be a sign of malaria though this is uncommon and can easily be overlooked. Sometimes when you begin to experience severe cough and difficulty in breathing. Yes, there are some times that malaria will affect your lung and this will leads you to have difficulty in breathing in some cases. Quite a pity that sometimes also, we often ignore that one.

I can keep mentioning more and more of them but let me stop here. If you notice some of these symptoms, instead of just overlooking it, try to go for medical checkup. I have seen cases whereby malaria leads to people's death and these deaths should have been avoided if only they go for early medical checkups.
