Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. dengue is a viral infection. the treatment consist only of symptomatic relief for the child. you can give only paracetamol for decreasing fever along with body sponge.
if it is diagnosed you have to go for blood investigation either into or three days to see for decrease in platelet.
no specific treatment is given for dengue and the doctor will wait till the body recovers from dengue by itself.
very important to maintain hydration by giving regular water fluids and small amount of easily digestible food.
please remain in contact with your doctor for more information and any confusion
This can occur due to either allergy or infection and some times due to weather changes and temperature variations around the child.
For cold you can give drops maxtra / wikoryl AF 0.5 ml to the child 2-3 times per day.
try to prevent temperature variations around the child and give nasal saline drops every three hourly for nasal blockage and simple cough and cold. Indirect steam will also help.
Go for home remedies like Tulsi Ginger diluted with water combination and turmeric with milk at least 2 times per day.(honey can be added after 1 year age)
Give warm water to drink
If no improvemenxt in 2 or 3 days then meet your doctor
For fever and pain give paracetamol.
