Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Dengue infection should be managed with priority.

As such there is no treatment of the dengue only hydrotherapy is essential which can flush out viruses.

I advice you the same to take fluid therapy. As the patient is admitted I suggest you to take the iv fluid therapy.

Please monitor the platelet count daily if it drops below the 10 thousands immediately platelet concentrate must be given other wise life threatening hemorrhage can occur, which makes patients life difficult to save.

Please suggest patient to take bed rest for at least a month after complete cure.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
