Anyone taking antimalarial drugs to prevent malaria who develops a fever or flu-like symptoms while taking the medicine or within 2-3 months after traveling to an area where malaria is common should call a physician immediately.
Treatment of knee pain depends on the cause of the knee pain. If you have been working on your knees all day then potentially rest and anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen can help. If the cause is trauma and there is possible joint damage then you should seek medical attention.
For acute injuries, you may have to stay off your feet as much as possible or even use crutches for a short time. Ice. Put ice on your knee for 15 to 20 minutes a few times each day. Use ice cubes or a bag of frozen vegetables wrapped in a towel. Compression. Wrap an elastic bandage around your knee to help control swelling. Make the bandage fit snugly around your knee, but not tight enough to cause pain or leg swelling.
