Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.
No it won't be malaria and not at all the cerebral malaria.

Cerebral malaria is very serious and life threatening condition which requires immediate hospitalisarion. Patient may become unconscious.

I want to suggest you that you should look for other causes of such a condition like dengue, tuberculosis.

Nausea and vomitif is because of the malaria treatment. You can take the pantoprazole for this acidity your vomiting can be cleared soon.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
