Hello,
You have been prescribed artemether I think as per history. Antibody card test can remain positive long after treatment as well. You can investigate with peripheral thick smear examination to check for parasitemia. Your clinical improvement also has to be seen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
