When to consider IV drips vs. oral medications?
In dengue management, intravenous (IV) drips are often more effective than oral medications in certain critical situations:

• Severe dehydration: In patients experiencing significant vomiting or because of severe dehydration, IV fluids provide adequate hydration and support for recovery when the patient is unable to keep up with oral fluid intake.
• Severe dengue symptoms: When dengue is accompanied by severe bleeding, severe thrombocytopenia (very low platelet counts), or plasma leakage, IV therapy stabilizes the patient and prevents further complications.
• Continuous monitoring and intervention: The IV drip allows for constant and exact dosing of fluids and medications with close supervision from medical staff to effectively manage these fluids/medications in cases of severe dengue.

Using IV fluids is a vital part of dengue fever treatment and helps improve patient outcomes, especially in severe cases of dengue in Bangalore and other affected areas.

Even after the fever goes down, dengue can enter a dangerous phase. Warning signs typically appear within 24-48 hours after the fever fades.

Watch for these warning signs:

• Pain or tenderness in the abdomen
• Vomiting three or more times in a day
• Bleeding from the nose or gums
• Vomiting blood or blood in the stools
• Severe fatigue, restlessness, or irritability
• Cold and clammy skin
• Trouble breathing
• Signs of dehydration

Prevent mosquito bites
To prevent the spread of dengue:

• Use Mosquito Repellents: Apply repellent products containing DEET or picaridin to exposed skin.
• Protective Clothing: Where long-sleeve shirts and pants, especially in areas where mosquitoes are present.
• Set up Mosquito Nets: Use while sleeping to protect yourself from mosquito bites when indoors.
