Understanding Dengue Fever: How Hande Hospital Has Been Fighting It for Over 25 Years in Children and Adults

 

Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral infection, continues to pose a significant health challenge across tropical and subtropical regions. With symptoms ranging from mild fever to life-threatening complications, it demands timely diagnosis and management. At Hande Hospital, we take immense pride in our 25+ years of expertise in combating dengue and providing compassionate, effective care to countless patients.

What is Dengue Fever?

Dengue fever is caused by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which typically bites during the day. The disease manifests though symptoms such as:

• High fever

• Severe headaches

• Pain behind the eyes

• Muscle and joint pain

• Nausea or vomiting

• Skin rash

  In severe cases, dengue can develop into dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock syndrome (DSS), which require urgent medical intervention.

Our doctors emphasize early diagnosis through advanced blood tests, such as the dengue NS1 antigen and platelet count monitoring. Timely detection ensures proactive treatment, preventing complications.

2. Holistic Care

At Hande Hospital, we treat not just the symptoms but also address the overall well-being of the patient. This includes hydration management, pain relief, and fever control under close medical supervision.

Prevention is a key aspect of our approach. Over the years, we’ve conducted community awareness programs to educate people about dengue prevention and control measures.

Precautions to Prevent Dengue Fever

Prevention is the first line of defense against dengue. Here are some simple yet effective precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones:

1. Avoid Mosquito Breeding

• Remove stagnant water from containers, plant pots, and drains.

• Keep water storage containers tightly covered.

2. Use Mosquito Protection

• Apply mosquito repellents on exposed skin.

• Wear long-sleeved clothing and full-length trousers, especially during dawn and dusk.

• Use mosquito nets, even during the day.

3. Keep Your Surroundings Clean

• Ensure regular garbage disposal.

• Use larvicides in water bodies that cannot be drained.

4. Monitor Symptoms

If you or someone you know experiences fever with a combination of the symptoms mentioned earlier, seek medical attention promptly.

When to Take Dengue Seriously

While mild dengue fever can often be managed with supportive care, certain warning signs should not be ignored:

• Persistent vomiting

• Severe abdominal pain

• Bleeding gums or nose
