Ano ang gamot sa dengue? Treatment and warning signs

A clinician may recommend paracetamol for fever or pain when it is suitable for you. Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and similar anti-inflammatory painkillers unless a clinician specifically directs their use, because dengue can increase bleeding risk.

Dengue is a viral infection. Care supports the body while the infection runs its course and aims to prevent dehydration and identify complications early. Fever, headache, muscle aches, joint pain, and chills can occur; easy bruising or bleeding deserves prompt attention.

Medical assessment may include questions about travel, mosquito exposure, medicines, fluid intake, urination, and bleeding. A clinician may arrange blood tests and repeat checks because warning signs can emerge even as the fever begins to settle.

Contact a healthcare professional if dengue is suspected. Rest, take frequent small drinks, and use an oral rehydration solution if advised. Water, soup, and other tolerated fluids can help; persistent vomiting may make home hydration inadequate.

Track drinking, urination, vomiting, temperature, alertness, and any bleeding. Reduce mosquito bites during illness by using repellent, screens, and suitable clothing, which helps prevent mosquitoes from carrying the virus to other people.

Go to an emergency department for severe or persistent abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, blood in vomit or stool, bleeding from the nose or gums, marked drowsiness, confusion, breathing difficulty, pale or cold clammy skin, fainting, or very little urine.

Urgent review is also appropriate if fluids cannot be kept down, symptoms worsen as fever falls, or the person is pregnant, very young, older, or has significant long-term illness. Do not wait for bleeding before seeking help when other red flags are present.

Ask which fever medicine and dose are suitable, how much fluid to aim for, what changes should trigger emergency care, whether blood tests need repeating, and when normal activities can resume. Bring a list of all medicines and supplements already taken.
