Hello nupur;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
Plasmodium vivax is a form of malaria which can attack a person repeatedly if it is not treated properly because even after regular treatment with antimalarial drugs it remains in liver so you have to follow the regular treatment and then take Primaquin 15mg twice a day for 15 days(this medicine is strictly not for patients who have G6PD problem).So even after doing this course if you are getting repeated malaria then it may be possible that the malaria you have has become resistant or you are living in a area which is infested with P.vivax and you are getting repeated attacks.Please consult a Physician for treatment and if possible temporarily shift from the present place of staying.
Thanks

hery llo dear, marshy areas are mosquitoe prone, and so repeated malarial attacks can occur.your vitality looks poor. try homoeopathic medicines to get permanent relief.Cinchona 30 once daily for 7 days will help.
