This can be done by tepid sponging,giving acetaminophen and encouraging patient to drink alot of water 2.next the platlet level is monitors continuously with blood test and blood transfusion is done to prevent great loss of platelet. 3.An IV transfusion of normal saline is done to hydrate patient to help them urinate and to remove the virus via urine.
Steps taken to minimise dengue fever by the government?
Control of dengue fever currently relies on control of the mosquito vectors through mosquito nets, parasiticide sprays and removal of standing water from areas around human settlements. There are many researchers around the world working on treatments and vaccines for dengue fever, although nothing has yet been found effective enough to be implemented on a large scale.

Dengue fever results in dip in the?
The number of platelets and amount of water. Losing the platelets will prevent normal clotting of the blood.
What is nursing intervention for dengue?
Dengue Nursing Interventions rely on following doctor's advise of increase in fluid intake for hydration (water specifically and avoiding coloured fluids that may mask bleeding), encouraging the patient to rest more so the body recovers form the pains and aches. Patient even after discharge from the hospital must still be under bleeding precautions. Use soft bristled toothbrush (or cotton instead) when doing oral care, not eating coloured food and fluids that may mask bleeding, monitoring s/s of bleeding as epistaxis (nosebleeding) , black stools or hematochezia (GIT bleeding),hematuria (blood in the urine), bruising and petechia. Avoid from instances where patinet will develop bruises like rouggh play and jarring of body parts against objects. Body needs 3-3.5 ml of water daily( 3,000-3,500 ml of water) as the body has sensible and insensible water losses. More water intake though for patients who are sick like dengue cases. It surely aids in the speedy recovery of the patient.

It surely aids in the speedy recovery of the patient. If a patient is still under Dengue fever Grade 1 diagnosis, it is of dire importance that the patient do not progress to Dengue Hemmorhagic Fever as this is a deadly state wherein patient may really undergo blood transfusion. That is why in all cases of dengue (whatever grade it is in already, signs and symptoms of bleeding must be monitored). There will always be a 24 hour(sometimes a 12 hour) CBC check until parameters are within normal or at least until WBC is already in the fighting stage(In dengue fever cases, WBC goes down as this is a viral disease).Monitor platelet and WBC count. - Jazzy JeanRey -
