Why is treatment sometimes done earlier than the payment?
When a case is urgent and vital, hospitals often proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalisation 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.

About infections
Blessing was diagnosed with Urinary Tract Infection and Malaria A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that affects any part of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. UTIs occur when bacteria, typically from the digestive tract, enter the urinary tract through the urethra and multiply, causing an infection. Severe malaria occurs when infections are complicated by serious organ failures or abnormalities in the patient's blood or metabolism.

Background
Blessing is a two-year-old boy who is always cheerful and loves playing with other children at home. He adores eating potatoes, regardless of how they are prepared. Recently, his mother noticed a change in the color of his urine, accompanied by a fever. Additionally, over the past three days, he has experienced headaches and has often cries while urinating.
Medical history
The patient initially took Lonart as premedication before seeking medical attention. Upon arrival at the facility, they presented with severe headaches, high fever, painful urination, and changes in urine color. They also experienced five episodes of vomiting and three episodes of loose stool. During the physical examination, the patient was found to be weak, febrile, and dehydrated. Tests were conducted, revealing the presence of blood sugar (BS), urinary tract infection (UTI), and gastroenteritis (GE). They were treated with antibiotics and later discharged. A follow-up home visit a few days after discharge confirmed that the patient was recovering well.
Prognosis
The infection 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.
