• Drink plenty of water
• In case of dengue fever, patient should not eat solid foods.
• Coriander leaves are used to control dengue fever
• Take vitamin C like Amla since vitamin C helps in the absorption of iron
• Hogweed is also used to lower temperature. It produces perspiration and flushes the toxins out of the body.
• Hermal seeds are taken as infusion to treat recurrent and intermittent fevers

• Plant pots should not be water logged.
• Tray should not be used under air conditioners
• Flower vase with water should be scrubbed and cleaned daily
• The roots of plants and flowers should be washed so that mosquito eggs can be removed
• There should not be any water logging in garden or in the drains.
• There should not be any fallen leaves on roof gutters or apron drains.
• There should not be water logging in water cooler

Non specified antiviral medications are also available for dengue fever treatment.  Apart from the use of medicines, non-supportive treatment and care is also available to save a patient from the sufferings of dengue fever. Choice of dengue fever treatment depends on the severity of dengue fever symptoms.  Antipyretics like paracetamol is used to treat dengue fever. Pain in bones is treated by the use of analgesics. Patients of dengue can prone to dehydration so they should take plenty of fluids. Intra-venous fluids should be administered in the form of dextrose saline or normal saline.

Next stage of dengue fever is dengue hemorrhagic fever. In this case, platelet count starts falling very rapidly. In this stage, patient starts bleeding. A person can be directly affected with all the stages as mentioned.  Dengue fever has three serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3 and DEN-4). The fatality rate of dengue hemorrhagic fever in many countries is 5%. Young adults and children experience most fatal cases of dengue fever. Symptoms of dengue should be controlled with proper in time dengue fever treatment.

Platelets stay in our body for 5-10 days. Our body also replenishes these platelets wen required. Dengue virus actually destroys the natural ability of our body to produce new platelets. Normal platelet count of a healthy person is 150,000-250,000 per microliter of blood. When a person gets infected with dengue virus platelet count starts decreasing. If a platelet count falls below 100,000 microliter of blood, the situation is considered to be alarming. Immediate dengue fever treatment is required in this case. If platelet count falls, blood will fail to clot thus leading to hemorrhage. It will result in external and internal bleeding. Once this hemorrhage starts the situation cannot be controlled.

• Aching joints and muscles
• Pain in eyes
• Nausea and vomiting
• Intense headache
• High fever
• Body rashes

Dengue fever starts with headache, chills, pain in eye movement and low backache. During first few hours of illness, pain in legs occurs. The temperature rises up to 104 F with low blood pressure and low heart rate. Eyes become red. Pink rash flushes on face. Glands in groin area and neck are swollen.

Fever lasts for four to five days and then drop by profuse sweating. A period of well-being starts after the temperature drops.

Aedes aegypti mosquito is transmitted to human from an infected mosquito. This process usually begins when a person infected with dengue fever virus is bitten by Aedes aegypti mosquito. The dengue virus then spreads when an infected mosquito bites a healthy person. If someone is suffered from a dengue fever previously then it is possible for that person to be infected with dengue virus again since dengue fever is caused by many different types of dengue virus. In this case, there is a chance to develop a severe form of dengue fever i.e. dengue hemorrhagic fever in all those persons who are already infected with dengue virus.

People should protect themselves from a mosquito bite as this is the only way to prevent dengue virus from spreading. Dengue fever is not an airborne infection. Aedes aegypti bites during morning hours. The mosquito first bites an infected person and then after getting dengue virus it bites a healthy person.

The incubation period is 4 to 6 days. This is a vector borne infection where mosquito is a carrier of dengue virus which is believed to cause dengue disease. No dengue vaccine is discovered yet.

Every year large number of dengue fever cases occurs worldwide. Some of these dengue fever cases develop into more severe form of dengue fever which is dengue hemorrhagic fever. In United States infection of dengue fever came from other countries. It is possible that the infection of dengue fever spread through that traveler via dengue fever virus which ultimately develops dengue fever symptoms.

Patients with severe forms of dengue must be hospitalized. No dengue fever vaccine is discovered yet. Dengue is a flue like illness and occurs in world’s tropical areas such as America, Africa, Asia and the Pacific. It is also common in Caribbean basin. Dengue is most common in rural areas than in the cities. Dengue is uncommon in mountainous areas. There is no specific dengue fever treatment. Prevention can occur by avoiding mosquito bites. Mosquitoes carrying dengue virus breed in water storage containers, oil drums, flower pots and discarded tires. These places are close to human livings. Dengue mosquitoes usually bite during the daytime.
