Despite consistently complaining to his mother about recurrent abdominal pains, he remained untreated until about a week later when the pain worsened, accompanied by painful urination and fever. Despite his mother's attempts to alleviate his discomfort with pain medications, his symptoms persisted until he was brought to Nakowa Hospital seeking assistance from Helpster.

A UTI should be treated immediately, since it may spread onto kidneys, if left untreated. It will also keep causing pain and discomfort if the treatment is not received. 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.
