Sebastian K., 7

Sebastian is a jovial and hardworking boy who likes playing football and helping his grandfather to take care of his domestic animals. He wants to be a farmer in future. He was brought to the hospital with complains of vomiting, loose stool, abdominal pain, headache and loss of appetite. He had had the symptoms for 2 days and had been given pain relievers but there was no improvement. Sebastian's mother did not have any money to take Sebastian to hospital, and as his condition worsened, she called Sebastian's grandmother to ask for financial assistance and she informed her about Helpster Charity.

Sebastian was brought to the hospital with complaints of vomiting, loose stool, abdominal pain, headache, and loss of appetite. The symptoms had persisted for two days, and although he had been given pain relievers, there was no improvement. He was diagnosed with amoebic dysentery and malaria, and treated with anti-malaria medication, antibiotics, injections, and oral medication to continue at home. His treatment was successful, and he is now in good health.

Malaria and amoebiasis prognosis is good when treated early with antimalarial drugs and antibiotics and deworming. This will prevent further spread of malarial parasites into the the brain.
