Okay since I posted the question about malaria awhile ago and have been and back from India with my son I thought I'd post an update for others that were in my situation.

I did end up giving him Mefloquine and he did absolutely fine. Not to mention it really gave me peace of mind. Mosquitos were very prevalent when we first got there in mid-october but then started to taper off as the weather got cooler...they were still there but not as many.

Things I learned...always used DEET or some other natural mosquito repellent, always wear long sleeve shirts, pants, socks and shoes while outdoors, wear light colored clothing. I took some bright shirts for my son such as red and yellow but I didn't end up wearing them since they would be a major attractant to the mosquitos. He did get bitten a few times when we first got there but the fact that he was on the meds really gave me peace of mind.

We also used the good night mosquito oils in every room in the house and since it was indoors it wasn't bad. I guess thats it! I hope that info can help someone please feel free to ask me any questions if you want more info.
