Malaria danger signs: when to rush to hospital

Most malaria can be treated. But some signs mean the illness is severe and needs a hospital now.

Go now if there is: fits or convulsions, very deep sleep or confusion, fast or hard breathing, or the person cannot drink or keep anything down.

In a child, watch for: not eating or drinking, vomiting everything, very weak or floppy, or yellow eyes.

Do not treat severe malaria at home. Do not wait for the morning. Every hour counts.

On the way, keep the person cool and on their side if they are not fully awake.

Paludisme: signes de danger et quand courir à l'hôpital

La plupart des paludismes se soignent. Mais certains signes montrent une forme grave qui exige l'hôpital tout de suite.

Allez-y maintenant s'il y a: convulsions, sommeil très profond ou confusion, respiration rapide ou difficile, ou la personne ne peut pas boire.

Chez l'enfant, surveillez: refus de manger ou boire, vomit tout, très faible, ou yeux jaunes.

Ne traitez pas un paludisme grave à la maison. N'attendez pas le matin. Chaque heure compte.

En chemin, gardez la personne au frais et sur le côté si elle n'est pas bien réveillée.
