Does Malaria Give You A High Or Low Grade Fever?

Does malaria give you a high or low grade fever?
I'm living in Rwanda in the midst of a large mosquito population. I've been taking malarone but have developed flu like symptoms over the past week with fatigue, loss of appetite, and a low grade fever.
