Antibiotics, often ones that have something called quinine in it.

you give antimalarial chemoprophylaxis ( ex. chloroquine ), but you should get first a blood test like thin and thick smear, blood culture to document and identify first the presence of malaria and the type of malaria ( there are 4 types of Plasmodium species ) ; each type has a different treatment drug plus you have to consider the epidemiologic factor, different location of the world harbor the different species; I think if you highly suspect malaria, consult a doctor who specializes in Infectious Disease .

Treatment consists of anti-malarial medications; the particular medication used depends on the species of parasite and any associated drug resistance. In severe cases, hospitalisation and intravenous treatment may be needed.

Artemisinin and Quinine are the most common treatments.
