Self Medication

Or How I have Avoided Malaria Medicine for a Decade

I always try to avoid hospitals

Here’s what I’ve done when I’ve had malaria symptoms and avoided taking malaria medicine for the past 9 years. Paracetamol + Fruits + Veggies.

After about 2 days, I return back to semi normal and I take it from there.

I fell quite ill briefly this week as it happens every quarter or 3. I got treated how I have done for the past decade. By myself.

This brief illness (cause of death of so many Nigerians!) was aggravated by milk I drank I believe. It put me in a really bad place and I still refused to visit the hospital.
