Infectious Diseases Specialist 's  Response
Hello there,
I am dr.milan an infectious disease specialist answering your question.
Most probable symptoms of malaria is fever with chills. If chills is there we suspect first mamaria. So it is not present here. and fever is also absent. So chances of malaria is very rare. Other symptoms of malaria are Headache, Sweats, Fatigue, Nausea and vomiting. But this also accompany fever & chills. SO you have some other kind of infection or may you have some vitamin or any elemental deficiency causing this type of symptoms.
So i suggest you to visit your physician once and follow his advise.
Hope i have given appropriate guidance to you.
