Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion taking a rest is good.

Doctor provided you a right treatment. Malaria can decrease the platelet count. Take the complete course of treatment.

Rest is necessary to take care of platelet count. If the rest is not taken there is risk of hemorrhage. Such hemorrhage once started is unable to control.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
