My sister got dengue fever for the second time. Is she in danger?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I had gone through all the data posted.

Dengue is a common viral illness. The difference is there will be profound dehydration, so keep her well hydrated. Let the saline be there and if she does not have vomitings, then give her fruit juices, ORS packets (oral rehydration salt) mixed with water for 12 to 16 glasses per day. Give her soft diet to keep stools soft and monitor for any bleeding manifestations, which usually occur if platelet count is less than 20,000. From the reports that are posted, she is holding on and continue all the medications.

Dolo 650 mg (Acetaminophen) to be taken according to body weight and age three times a day and keep doing tepid sponging. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent. Kindly do liver function test and repeat malaria test by doing peripheral smear method. Send me all report and WBC (white blood cells) showing the percentage of lymphocytes and neutrophils of all days; so that we can guess how many more days we need to wait. As for now, her condition is fine. We need to continue the same treatment and rule out the other causes of fever if any mainly malaria as it can mimic dengue.
