Experts Highlight Increased Malaria Risks for Children and Importance of Early Detection
Malaria poses a higher risk to children, especially those under five, due to their developing immune systems and lower physiological reserves. Experts Dr. Amit Prakash Singh and Dr. Ankur Ohri explain that children lack immunity built from repeated exposure, making them vulnerable to severe complications like cerebral malaria. Early symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and vomiting can be mistaken for viral illnesses, delaying treatment. Timely diagnosis and prevention are crucial to reduce severe outcomes during high-risk seasons.
