A. I'm sorry to hear that your son has dengue. If he has been suffering from dengue for 5 days and is not able to consume food or fluids (I'm assuming this is what you mean by "consow"), it's crucial to monitor him closely as dengue can cause dehydration and other complications. Here are some steps you can take: 1. **Hydration**: Ensure he stays hydrated by offering fluids like water, oral rehydration solutions (ORS), coconut water, or clear soups. Dehydration is a major concern in dengue, especially with fever and vomiting. 2. **Rest**: Encourage him to rest as much as possible. Dengue causes extreme fatigue, and rest is essential for recovery. 3. **Fever Management**: If he has a high fever, you can use paracetamol (but avoid ibuprofen or aspirin, as they can increase the risk of bleeding). 4. **Monitor for Warning Signs**: Keep an eye on warning signs such as: - Severe abdominal pain - Persistent vomiting - Bleeding (gums, nose, or in stools) - Difficulty breathing - Extreme tiredness or irritability 5. **Consult a Doctor**: Since it's already been 5 days, and if he's unable to eat or drink, it's very important to contact your doctor or take him to the hospital for further assessment. Dengue can progress to severe dengue, which requires medical intervention. If he's showing any signs of dehydration or other complications, prompt medical attention is essential.
