Hear about dengue fever
Many people's first reaction is a fever
Hurry to the pharmacy and stock up on fever-reducing medicine, just in case
The infectious disease doctor of Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital reminded
Citizens need not panic
It is not advisable to follow the trend and stock up on medicine
It is even more undesirable to take multiple antipyretics at the same time!
At present, there is no reliable vaccine or specific treatment for dengue fever, and it mainly relies on mosquito control to prevent transmission.
Treatment of dengue fever is symptomatic and aimed at reducing symptoms. Mild cases can be treated at home, while severe cases require hospitalization.
Dengue fever is uncomfortable, how to reduce fever? 01 Mainly physical cooling
According to the Guidelines for the Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Dengue Fever in China (2024 Edition) issued by the National Health Commission, the main way to reduce fever in dengue fever patients is physical cooling, and warm water can be used to scrub the bath.
02 Ibuprofen should be used with caution as a fever reducer
If the fever is too uncomfortable, acetaminophen is recommended under the guidance of a physician, and ibuprofen and aspirin are used with caution.
Because the human body is infected by dengue virus, it is in a state of blood vessel dilation and bleeding. In this case, the use of ibuprofen and aspirin can worsen the bleeding and is not conducive to the development of the disease.
In addition, drugs with strong side effects such as nimesulide, diclofenac, analgin, chlorpromazine, etc., which do not have the main purpose of reducing fever, need to be evaluated by a doctor according to the condition before deciding whether to stop or observe and use under guaranteed conditions.
To sum up in one sentence
Please consult a professional doctor or pharmacist
Follow your doctor's instructions for medication
What should I do if I am infected with dengue fever and have no appetite?
Patients can choose foods that are easy to digest, such as rice porridge, noodles, steamed eggs, etc.; At the same time, eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, oranges, etc., and avoid greasy, spicy or irritating foods.
In addition, dengue fever infection can also cause symptoms such as excessive sweating and diarrhea, and in order to avoid dehydration, electrolytes can also be supplemented - oral rehydration salt powder, fruit juice or electrolyte energy drink.
Be cautious with carbonated beverages to avoid causing stress-related hyperglycemia.
Patients with frequent vomiting, difficulty eating, or low blood pressure should seek prompt medical attention and, if necessary, intravenous fluids.
If you have dengue fever, how to avoid passing it on to your family
Dengue fever is mainly transmitted through mosquito bites, and daily contact with family members is not contagious, but it is necessary to take mosquito prevention measures at home, such as hanging mosquito nets and spraying mosquito repellent when sleeping, and keeping the living environment clean and dry to avoid mosquito breeding.
