Why is treatment done earlier than admission?
Sometimes, when a case is urgent and vital, hospitals may proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalization of admission procedures. Usually, when this happens, hospitals put the bill on our credit until the funds are transferred to their accounts.
That's why the chronology can sometimes be in disorder.

Background
Shelton is a five month old baby. Three days ago, the mother reports of the child having fevers, vomiting, reduced appetite and cough. She thought that the symptoms would subside but the child got worse by the day; this prompted her to bring the child to the hospital.
Medical history
Three days before arriving at the hospital, Shelton's mother noticed he had developed fevers, vomiting, a decreased appetite, and a cough. Upon reaching the facility, Shelton underwent malaria testing, which returned positive results. Consequently, he was admitted as an inpatient and received medication. Upon improvement, Shelton was discharged to continue his treatment with oral medication at home. A subsequent follow-up visit confirmed Shelton's continued recovery.
Outcome
Malaria should be treated promptly with the use of antimalarial drugs. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications and even death. It can result in organ failure, severe anemia, neurological issues, and in some cases, prove fatal, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial for preventing these life-threatening consequences.
