Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The symptoms of high grade fever and evening raise of temperature along with joint pain and generalised myalgia may be the symptoms of malaria but it should be confirmed by lab investigation.
As your treating doctor has advised medications to cover both bacterial and malaria parasite.
As your doctor has prescribed the anti malarial drug the lab report may come negative. If you have malaria parasite it will be covered by the antimalarial drug and your condition will improve in 3 days.
In addition to these drug l would suggest anti gastric drug.
Thank you.
