Dengue Treatment in Urdu

Dengue fever is a painful, debilitating mosquito-borne disease caused by any one of four closely related dengue viruses. These viruses are related to the viruses that cause West Nile infection and yellow fever. An estimated 390 dengue infections occur worldwide each year, with about 96 million resulting in illness.

Symptoms of Dengue Fever

Symptoms, which usually begin four to six days after infection and last for up to 10 days, may include

• 
  
• Sudden, high fever
• 
  
• Severe headaches
• 
  
• Pain behind the eyes
• 
  
• Severe joint and muscle pain
• 
  
• Fatigue
• 
  
• Nausea
• 
  
• Vomiting
• 
  
• Mild bleeding
• 
  

Sometimes, younger children and people who have never had the infection before tend to have mild cases than older children and adults. However, serious problems can develop. These include dengue hemorrhagic fever, a rare complication characterized by high fever, damage to lymph and blood vessels, bleeding from the nose and gums, sudden fall in white blood platelets, enlargement of the liver, and failure of the circulatory system. The symptoms may progress to massive bleeding, shock, and death. This is called dengue shock syndrome.

To protect yourself:

• 
  
• Stay away from heavily populated residential areas, if possible.
• 
  
• Use mosquito repellents, even indoors.
• 
  
• When outdoors, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants tucked into socks.
• 
  
• When indoors, use air conditioning if available.
• 
  
• Make sure window and door screens are secure and free of holes. If sleeping areas are not screened or air conditioned, use mosquito nets.
• 
  
• If you have symptoms of dengue, speak to your doctor.
• 
  

To reduce the mosquito population, get rid of places where mosquitoes can breed. These include old tires, cans, or flower pots that collect rain. Regularly change the water in outdoor bird baths and pets' water dishes.

If someone in your home gets dengue fever, be especially vigilant about efforts to protect yourself and other family members from mosquitoes. Mosquitoes that bite the infected family member could spread the infection to others in your home.
