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.
2. Use a wrap as a preventative measure. Knee wraps are not generally used to treat a severe injury or condition. Knee wraps are used for the prevention of injury or knee issues. They provide a bit more stability and external support to the joint of your knee when it is put under extreme stress.1  The only kind of treatments a knee wrap is used for are first degree sprains of the knee. If you want to cover your knee cap with the bandage, loosen the tightness of the bandage around the kneecap to avoid excessive pressure on the joint. 2  The strength of the wrap should be snug above and below the kneecap.
