Interviewer instructions
This question asks about the time interval between the beginning of the child's fever and when he/she took the first dose of an anti-malarial medicine to treat the fever.

If multiple anti-malarial medicines are mentioned in ML6 or ML9, name all anti-malarials mentioned. Record the code for the day on which an anti-malarial was given for the first time. If he/she started taking (the anti-malarial) the same day the fever started, circle '0' for 'Same day'. If the anti-malarial was first given the next day (the day after the fever began), circle '1' for 'Next day' and so on. If the respondent does not know how long after the fever started the child first took the anti-malarial, circle '8'.
