Hello there. I can understand your concern. Syrup doesn't mean mild treatment. Your wife is a adult , injectionwill help in quick recovery and cure. Because she has a child to take care also. Your child will be fine with oral medications. It's a normal procedure even I follow with patients of malaria. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
