Hello
I understand your concern.

Weakness and nausea may be due to antibiotics side effects/hepatitis as complication of malaria/electrolyte disturbances/anaemia.

Platelet counts are bit lower but it is not to worry about.
Kindly get her liver function tests done.
PPI combination with anti emetic like pantoprazole domperidone once a day for 5-7 days.
Take probiotics for establishment of normal intestinal flora.
Maintain hydration with plenty of fluids.Oral rehydration solution is recommended.
Give her small and frequent meals.Soft semi solid well cooked food should be given for easy digestion.

Hope this information helps.
Wish her good health.
