Suggest Precautions /treatment For Dengue Fever
pls advise my nephew, a 6-month old baby, has been diagnosed to have a dengue fever. Latest platet count is 150 and 153. He is presently confined in the hospital with IV. What are other things we should do to ensure that the baby will have all the support needed to fight the virus.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that if the child is having dengue fever then the good nursing care is the best way to treat the kid and along with this care need to be taken for hydration and other vital organs, take care and have a nice day.

Hi,
Looking at the history, laboratory findings and treatment - It is my opinion that the condition is improving.
Platelet count is good and needs to be monitored regularly. Treatment is basically symptomatic other than platelet transfusion, if needed.
Precautions:
1. Avoid mosquito bite.
2. Anybody having joint pains or fever needs to be tested for dengue, to avoid late diagnosis and complications.
Treatment:
1. symptomatic.
2. watch for platelet counts.
There is not specific treatment against the virus at present. Platelet count is good, nothing to worry.Take care.
Any other queries, happy to help again.
