Ways to identify symptoms of dengue
Extra attention should be paid if the fever that normally starts is increasing. Thus it is difficult to detect the symptoms of dengue fever at an early stage. Most cases of dengue fever occur within four to seven days of the mosquito bite.
Dengue fever usually exceeds 104 degrees. In addition to taking medication to control such high temperature levels it is essential to rest completely and consume plenty of liquid foods. A blood test is also necessary to make sure that the level of blood cells is adequate.
Another symptom of dengue fever is a sudden onset of severe headache. Cooling of the eye area when the pain is high. If the headache is more severe than the flu it is a sign of dengue fever.
Physical pain is also a symptom of dengue fever. Initially the pain is more in the joints, tendons, and skeletal areas. Pain in the muscles will increase if the presence of dengue fever is confirmed.
Chronic joint pain is a post-dengue symptom. Deficiency of vitamins and minerals in the body is the main reason for the high body pain during this fever. Therefore, dengue sufferers should eat more nutritious foods, including vitamins. Another symptom of dengue fever is the formation of red rashes on the skin. Sometimes blood will flow from it. These rashes appear within a day or two of the onset of the fever. Then the eyes of the patients will turn yellow. The skin also turns pale.
Psoriasis develops when the fever starts to subside. There are no specific treatments for these. You can use moisturizing creams in consultation with your doctor. Proper preventive measures should be taken to prevent the spread of dengue fever. Dengue mosquitoes breed indoors and in water bodies around the house.
Keep your home and surroundings clean. Wear clothing that covers the entire body to avoid mosquito bites. Mosquito repellents can also be used. It is better to use mosquito nets in the bedroom. Use a mosquito net even if you are sleeping during the day.
Controlling dengue is a challenge for the health sector as it is already spreading rapidly while the corona infection is not declining.
The District Collector has been instructed by the Health Department to carry out mosquito eradication and disease control activities in full swing. Mosquito eradication activities have been initiated by the local administrations accordingly.
Coronavirus and dengue fever have almost identical symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose. It is compulsory to take two tests as they have common symptoms like cold, fever and body aches.
Health workers have been advised to place the same emphasis on corona treatment as on dengue fever. Also, the public has been asked to be extra careful as it is rainy season.
Though the dengue fever is identified years ago it still gives a harmful effect on people especially during this corona pandemic. Hence doctors are requesting people to stay safe in their home and to keep themselves and surroundings clean.
