Dengue fever is a viral infection spread by infected Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. It is the main cause of serious disease in tropical and sub-tropical climates worldwide, particularly in urban and semi-urban regions.
Dengue has a wide range of symptoms. Although rare, some persons get severe dengue, which can result in a variety of consequences including severe bleeding, organ damage, and plasma leakage. When severe dengue is not treated properly, it might lead to death.”
Dengue fever is prevalent throughout the year, particularly during the monsoon season. Though complete recovery is common, various problems can arise during the infectious phase that can be deadly, such as a sharp drop in platelet and white cell counts, abnormal liver enzymes, and multi-organ failure. It is critical to remain under the care of a doctor and have monthly blood tests until complete healing occurs.”
Dengue fever is also known as ‘breakbone fever,’ since the patient has a persistent high-grade fever, severe headaches, body aches, lack of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. Patients with low platelets and low blood pressure (Dengue shock syndrome) may have bleeding.
1. Postviral asthenia or persistent weariness and weakness – Patients should eat well and get enough rest. If you are severely weary, do not rush back to your usual job duties. Good slumber speeds up the healing process.
2. Muscle pains and headaches persist – drink plenty of water and relax. Rather than rushing back to your usual workout routine, take brief walks around your neighborhood and gradually increase your walking time.
3. There may be an appetite loss that improves with proper nutrition.
4. Hair loss is typical with all viral fevers; it’s reassuring to know that it’s not permanent and recovers quickly. To aid healing, consult your doctor, who will prescribe hair-specific vitamins and protein supplements.
