Characteristics of dengue fever is that there is no specific medicine. Therefore, patients with the disease need to be very careful when treating with drugs. The following article provides information that dengue fever should not be taken with any medicine.

1. What medicine should not be taken for dengue fever?


Dengue fever patients are treated according to symptoms, using the main method of analgesic and antipyretic. However, not all drugs that relieve pain and reduce fever are used for patients with dengue fever.
The following drugs are contraindicated in the treatment of dengue fever:
Aspirin : Dengue fever should not be taken with something that is Aspirin, an antibiotic against infections that has the effect of reducing pain and fever for patients. The interaction of aspirin-containing drugs will cause antiplatelets to meet. When the platelet density is not guaranteed or too sparse, it can cause bleeding or dangerous complications. For patients with dengue fever, the platelet count often drops sharply, if bleeding will quickly weaken health and endanger life. Ibuprofen: An anti-inflammatory drug that reduces pain and fever in patients. However, this drug is not used in the treatment of dengue fever. The main reason is that after using, patients will easily bleed or damage blood vessels. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: Anti-inflammatory drugs can limit the damage to the patient, especially in the case of a viral attack. Dengue patients are not allowed to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs because they have the ability to prevent platelet aggregation like Aspirin. When the drug interacts, if the patient bleeds, it will be difficult to stop, causing serious blood loss.

2. What medicine to take for dengue fever?


Dengue fever patients often do not have a fixed treatment. To date, patients with dengue fever are classified according to the degree of infection. For mild patients who can be treated on an outpatient basis, only serious situations should be considered as an outpatient. Therefore, most patients with dengue fever will be individually prescribed and prescribed medication based on the cause of the disease.
At first, the patient will have a prolonged high fever, causing dehydration and electrolyte loss. For patients with high fever, the electrolyte and rehydration agent used is Oresol. Oresol can rehydrate but also has the side effect of causing dehydration. Therefore, users should pay attention to taking the drug in the correct dose to avoid adverse health effects.
The virus that causes dengue has no specific medicine to kill. Therefore, the goal of treatment is directed to the use of drugs to relieve dangerous symptoms. Patients will be able to improve their immune health during treatment, fighting off viruses that cause disease in the body. If the patient cannot take Oresol, the doctor will prescribe an infusion to supplement. Infusion, although not too complicated, should be done under the supervision of doctors and nurses.
With uncomfortable pain and high fever, the patient will be prescribed antipyretic and analgesic drugs to improve. Paracetamol is a popular choice for this condition. This is an easy-to-use over-the-counter medication and is quite popular for all ages. However, patients should still talk with their doctor before taking to consider the appropriate dose and time.

3. Note for patients with dengue fever


Patients with dengue fever will have reduced resistance due to a sharp decrease in the number of platelets. Therefore, the treatment should pay close attention to the drugs that interact not good for health. Currently, there is no specific vaccine for dengue virus, so this is a dangerous disease. Children are especially vulnerable to mosquito bites.
Most patients who have had dengue can be cured. Only a very small number of complications appear after the disease, so it is easy to cause subjective psychology. Dengue fever according to research and conclusions is considered a dangerous disease that can threaten health after recovery. For those who are diagnosed at a late stage, they may experience shock or heart failure. Usually, complications of the disease will appear after about 1 week from the date of dengue fever.
Each patient has different resistance, so they also get the disease at different rates. Therefore, there is no fixed medicine to treat or prevent the disease. Each sick person needs to have regular health checks or protect themselves from mosquito bites to prevent the risk of dengue fever.
What drugs can be used for dengue patients you should ask your doctor for specific support. If you still have questions about dengue fever without taking any medicine other than fever-reducing and pain-relieving drugs, consult your doctor.
