What country are you in and do they have a infectious diseases department in hospital

Your mother has an infectious disease so should not contaminate other people. So I think you should phone someone to visit your mother at home.

O.K. Telephone the hospital who deals with Malaria and ask their advice.

I am sorry your mother is very ill.

Don't worry too much about her taking food at present as most very ill people don't want to eat. Try to make sure she has plenty of liquids, water etc.

I am not medically qualified and you could phone the doctor who prescribed:-

artesunate tablet and amoxicillin

to ask his advice.

I am sorry we cannot be more helpful.

has malaria been diagnosed by a doctor? and was the person who gave you the drugs medically qualified.

malaria isn't actually infectious - its the result of a parasitic infection from a mosquito bite - but some strains of the parasite can be vary dangerous but these tend to be very regional.

You really need to take proper medical advice - though I realise that this may be very difficult.

Take your mother to the school of tropical medicine in London as soon as possible. That is the best place to treat her. Don't delay malaria is a dangerous illness
