After seeing the doctor, Chigozie was diagnosed with three health issues: Malaria, Enteric Fever, and Colitis. He needs urgent medical treatment to get better.

Joshua presented at the hospital with symptoms that were diagnosed as Malaria + Enteric fever + Colitis. Blood tests were done and followed with anti malarial medications as well as antibiotics. Joshua is back on his feet and going about his daily activities happily.

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.Treatment may involve dietary changes, medication to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms, and in severe cases, surgery. For bacterial infections, antibiotics may be prescribed. Regular medical care is important, as some types of colitis can increase the risk of developing colon cancer.
