Infectious Diseases Specialist, Dr. Arun's Response
Hello thank you to contact healthcare magic. Sad to hear about your grandfather. If I am your treating Doctor I would like to suggest you that there is no treatment of Dengue as such you have to give him fluid therapy. More and more fluid he intakes more will be the benefit. You do not mention about laboratory investigation of the dengue. I would like to suggest you that you should monitor regular platelet count of your grand father. If the platelet count is falling very rapidly you should start intravenous pint. Kindly contact me if you have anything else to ask. Dr. Arun Tank, Infectious Disease specialist.
