Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne infection that can lead to a severe flu-like illness which is caused by four different viruses and spread by the mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. There is no medicine that can cure dengue fever, and treatments listed below can help to relieve the symptoms. Paracetamol 500mg -1000mg can be taken three times a day to bring down fever and reduce joint pains. However, do not take other pain relievers such as aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen sodium since they can increase the risk of bleeding. The common signs and symptoms of dengue fever can start anywhere from 2 days after the mosquito bite, and include high fever, severe headaches, chills, pain behind the eyes, severe joint and muscle pain, low back pain, abdomen pain, loss of appetite, a skin rash may appear after two to five days. After five to six days, the body temperature can be 40*C to 41*C, and slightly reduce after seven to eight days. The temperature may rise again after that. Sometimes, dengue fever can develop into a serious disease known as hemorrhagic fever, which is life-threatening. It can even lead to vomiting, blood in the stool, diarrhea, nausea, difficulty in breathing, mild bleeding from the nose, gums, mouth, cause serious bleeding, a sudden drop in blood pressure (shock) and death. Home Treatment #1 Papaya Leaf Juice. Take two papaya leaves, take only the leafy part and not the stalk, wash and cut the papaya leaves into small pieces. Pound the leaves in a mortar, add a little drinking water about 50 ml and squeeze out the juice with your hands. An adult can drink about two tablespoons (30 ml) of the juice a day for three days.  It is very bitter. You can add honey or fruit juice to reduce bitterness. Do not boil the leaf which can destroy the enzyme. The leaf contains an enzyme called ‘Papain’ which helps to improve platelet count. Note: - The normal number of platelets in the blood is 150,000 to 400,000 platelets per microliter. Have a blood test. When your blood platelets are returning to normal, stop drinking the papaya leaf juice. Blood clots may form in your blood arteries if your platelet count is excessively high. This may obstruct your body's blood flow. Vitamin C-rich fruits, like oranges, papayas, banana, and guavas, are helpful during dengue. They supply vital nutrients for healing and strengthen the immune system. A victim must drink a lot of water to avoid dehydration. Recommended fruit juices - Bitter melon, Carrot, Guava, Watermelon, Orange , Lemon, Coconut water, and  herbal tea made from ginger, cinnamon and cardamom is effective for people suffering from dengue fever.
