Hajara Z., 2

Hajara is 2 years old, the last child among 5 children. She is living with parents, and everyone is always happy with the way little Hajara is active. Her father is a small scale farmer and the mother is a house wife. They're all working and struggling to take care of the children in their lives. They live in a 3 bedroom house with a toilet separately from the house. She had been having symptoms of malaria for some days, but because of lack of finances, the condition keeps getting worse, despite giving her a paracetamol syrup, nothing positive changed. They were informed about Helpster Charity by a neighbor which made them reach out to Albisbir Hospital. They were there for proper evaluation. Upon presentation and proper evaluation at our hospital , she was diagnosed with malaria and Respiratory tract infection.

Hajara a 2 yo girl child has been having high body temperature, coughing refusal to eat and body weakness. She was brought to our facility by the mother for help due to financial difficulty to be assisted by Helpster Charity. The child was admitted and diagnosed with respiratory tract infection and malaria. Treatment commenced with injection antimalarials, injection antibiotics as well as fluids. Child responded to treatment and was stable, body temperature was normalised, feeding continued well, strength was regained back and no more crying. She was discharged to be returned after 1 week for follow up. The family are so happy for the support by Helpster Charity.

The doctor opined that with early diagnosis and proper treatment, malaria usually has a good prognosis, but delayed care can lead to severe complications or death. RTIs also carry a favorable outlook when mild or promptly treated, though severe forms like pneumonia may become life-threatening without timely management.
