The reappearance and incidence of dengue in Venezuela is really worrying. That which begins with a fever, which is generally not given adequate attention, can lead to a more delicate situation and even death. Those who are most at risk with the presence of the disease are children and the elderly; however, dengue has no age preferences when attacking.
Both children, adults and the elderly, it can attack us all equally, do we really know what to do if symptoms appear?
The disease transmitted by the bite of the well-known "white-legged" mosquito (Aedes aegypti, with white rings on its legs) is of viral origin and usually manifests itself in two forms: classic dengue and hemorrhagic dengue, its most lethal form. To avoid complications, it is advisable to seek medical assistance when the first symptoms are detected, this reduces the chances of hemorrhages and fatal shocks.
The only way to prevent it is to avoid being bitten by one of these mosquitoes since there are no vaccines against the virus. We suggest you then, that you fumigate your home; use insecticides around you; spray your skin with repellants and baby oil; ingest vitamin B and use a mosquito net.
You should also avoid any accumulation of garbage and water at home or in the surroundings; If you have stored water, keep it covered to prevent mosquito breeding.
Check if the rain pools in your garden or if that water plant that adorns your room is not full of larvae (as far as possible, substitute water for soil).
Check it out!
The most dangerous thing about dengue is that it can be confused with the flu or with a febrile and infectious disease such as measles. The presence of a high fever for more than two days, severe headaches, swollen glands in the neck, pain in the eyes and muscles, diarrhea, loss of appetite, red rashes on the chest and legs, and nausea and vomiting probably indicate that you have dengue.
If, in addition, these symptoms are accompanied by persistent stomach pain, pale and cold skin, swollen face, nose and mouth bleeds, bloody vomiting, insomnia, crying, uncontrollable thirst, rapid pulse, depression, fainting and difficult breathing, then It is a dangerous dengue hemorrhagic fever.
If you have symptoms ...
Run to the doctor! The important thing is to make a diagnosis on time, although we know that a medical consultation does not cost less than $ 20 is the only way to fight the disease, applying the appropriate treatment. He will tell you what to do, never self-medicate. Be careful with aspirin, as they are counterproductive in this case, they can cause bleeding or worsen existing ones.
From my own experience I can recommend you not to self-medicate, this can further harm our health, our life.
It is also recommended absolute rest, and a large consumption of fluids, preferably water and serum to avoid dehydration. Likewise, it is advisable to keep the patient isolated, with mosquito nets or metal meshes, so that the mosquito does not bite him again, since the patient could spread this disease to those close to him.
Despite not being in optimal conditions, going from disease to disease, here I am standing, to continue fighting, for me and all of us. Giving my best, and continuing to adopt our BitcoinCash currency. Who, day by day, continues to show us how successful and powerful he is.
