Effects of fever
Fevers are common during rainy season. In this season, the virus spread very soon. As water gets polluted in this season, so fever spreads through water mostly.
Fever through cold:
Cold is common problem for people. So it is known as the common cold. Especially, this common cold in children occurs 6 to 12 times in a year. According to age, its occurrence reduces. So in adults 3 to 4 times occurs in a year. There are 200 viruses which cause cold. Among those 200 viruses rhino virus, RSV virus, corona virus are mostly affected us. But it is very tough to find which virus causes cold and there is no necessary to know about it. Cold is a disease which can recover on its own. In some rare cases only cold leads to some other health problems.
Symptoms:
Rihints, nose leaking, headache, little fever are the symptoms of common cold fever. In some people there may not be fever. When cold occurs, first 2days water leaks from the nose. In some people cough and throat pain occurs. But there won’t be high fever and no joint pains also. These problems will recover within 2 to 5 days. When you are suffering from these problems, it is better to take medicines by consulting a doctor. So that it won’t turn to other health problems. The medicines which suggested by doctor will stop your nose leaking or moistening. There are no anti-virus medicines specially then it is suggested to take paracetamol. When kids feel uneasy to have breath due to the nose block occurred by cold. Then it is suggested to drop few drops so that the nose gets clear. Therefore, they can take breath freely.
When we are suffering from cold, there is no need to have any special diet. But most of the people have pepper milk, chicken gravy, masala soup etc. Due to this they feel happy and get relief from cold and nose block. In this situation having liquids and rest are important. If these are followed the cold will go easily within days.
In some people, cold changes to sinusitis, ear pain in children. Most of the people, after getting cold immediately start using anti – biotic. But it is a waste. The water which comes from nose changes the color then we need to consult a doctor and the confirm about antibiotics.
In every season, the symptoms of fever through cold will change. So there is no special injection medicine for this.
Dengue Fever:
This is very dangerous fever. Now whole Andhra Pradesh is suffering from this. After a cold, this dengue comes in the order. This fever is famous among the world suffering from these infections.
Actually in this rainy season, without any symptoms like cold, throat pain, nose leaking and having only high fever effected then it is very important to know whether the fever is dengue or not. The Fact is dengue fever will be normal at earlier. When dengue fever occurs then people fear in such a way that the affected person may die.
According to the seriousness of the fever, there are many stages. In many people, dengue fever occurs first and recovered soon without their knowledge. In some people the fever may be high and recover. But the people who already affected by dengue fever earlier and got recovered and if they are affected by dengue fever again, this may cause a very serious problem. So this dengue fever should not be neglected.
People who are suffering from dengue fever will have heavy body pains. So it is known as break bone fever. Some people have a headache. Some will suffer with high fever that is 102 – 104 and more temperate. Children may have vomiting or motion problems. In some people rashes occur on the skin.
In Andhra Pradesh most of the people are bothered about platelets only but the fact is recovering of platelets occurs in many diseases. So in this season, at the place where mosquitoes are there, then there will be severe body pains or headache. If we find a reduction of white blood cells and blood platelets symptoms. Then this can be confirmed as dengue fever.
Flu Fever:
Flu fever occurs actually between rainy season and winter season. We even suffer from the common cold in flu fever. High fever, severe body pains, couldn’t even move are the main symptoms of flu fever. This fever changes people into weak condition. So most of the people believe that it is very poisonous and dangerous fever. People who are suffering from this fever cannot even do habitual action (Daily actions).
Symptoms:
Serious body pains, throat pains, cough, headache, 101 and more temperature fever. The people who are suffering from flue fever cannot go out of the house. They always fell a sleep with laziness. Sometimes the symptoms of flu will be more serious. Actually in most of the people flue occurs with no serious symptoms and it recovers in less time. So there is no need to worry at all. The main problem occurs with fever; it spread from the throat to the lungs, leads to pneumonia, ARDS serious problems may occur. People suffer from diabetes, pregnant women; children may get asthma like lung problems which are very dangerous. The occurrences of death due to flu fever in rare cases. So we should consider this disease. When the symptoms of flue get serious then we should consult a doctor. We should not take flu fever easy.
To confirm the flu fever, the doctor performs a few tests – blood test, flu test, chest x-ray.
Actually flue fever recovers on itself. For controlling the high fever they suggest paracetamol tablet. In this situation, it is good to take more liquids as food. If necessary they provide oseltamivir like anti-virus medicines. With these medicines, the seriousness of fever will reduce. Then there will be no occurrence of other problems. So the patient will recover soon. When other infections effected then anti-biotic should be taken at the time and is necessary quantity. If there are no other health problems then flue disease will recover soon within 5 to 7 days.
There are few injections for flue disease. But these should be taken every year. The people who are more than 50 ages and having heart problems are suggested to take these injections.
Now NSI antigen test is available to us. When fever affected us, then within 1 to 5 days we should have to test it and try to know whether it is dengue fever or not. After 1 week we can know on the IGM antibody test, then in IGG anti body test. So when it is confirmed about it in this manner that it is a normal dengue fever then the patients should take paracetamol and more liquids. They should take a rest. Especially the painkillers should not be taken at all. If taken, then blood platelets will get damaged and there is a danger of bleeding.
Dengue fever gets recovered in 5 to 7 days. In some people it may recover soon but there is a chance of occurrence again. This fever makes people much weak and suddenly it will recover. Most of the people neglect fever at this situation, the fact is, and this is a critical time in dengue fever. Now only we should be more careful. Because after the recovery of dengue fever there is a change of low blood pressure, thickening of blood, reduction of heart beat, bleeding of blood through the skin, black color excretion or blood in urination are symptoms seen and these are very dangerous at this stage.
There are red blood cells, which blood cells and platelets in blood and there will be a gland called plasma gland. In the dengue fever, this gland gets leaked inside and blood gets thicker. Due to this blood thickens and blood pressure gets low. This is very dangerous compared to the reduction of platelets. This should be noticed by us. This is the reason why doctors test dengue patients daily after fever getting recovered. If the platelets reduces less than 1 lakh and more than 20% thickening of blood. If these occur then it is known as dengue hammerises fever. So with platelet tests they even test the thickness of blood with hematocrit test.
At the stage of complete recovery of fever, there may be vomiting problem, Low blood pressure, hands and legs getting cool compared to normal stage, increasing of hematocrit, reduction of platelets, excreta in black color, dark color urination due to blood mixing, no urination for 4 to 6 hours. If these symptoms are seen or noticed then the person should be hospitalized. Hematocrit is more important compared to platelets. This is known as fact. Due to this we should give saline to the patient so that blood gets diluted. When platelets reduce less than 1 lakh then the person should be hospitalized. According to the condition of the patient 1 or 2 times platelets test will be performed. We should be much more careful when platelets gets reduced less than 20,000. So blood bleeding in urine, black color excretion will happen. These should be observed. If platelets reduce less than 10,000 or if there are no other symptoms then there is needed to get platelets. Though the platelets are good but if blood clotting system damages then bleeding occur. These can be noticed through PT, APTO tests. Then plasma should be injected. If we notice water leakage in the stomach and lungs then blood pressure reduces so the saline should be given, if blood pressure does not increase with this saline then plasma is necessary. To some extent the problem will be solved. Then also if patients are not recovered that means the patient went to dengue shock syndrome. This is a very dangerous stage and some situations the patients may die. Some people may recover completely but suffer from jaundice, or fits or kidney may fail. So this is known as an expanded dengue syndrome. That means the main parts of the body are getting damaged or affected. So such patients should be kept in ICU and observed carefully.
Dengue is a fever which spread through mosquitoes. So it is better to avoid the mosquitoes around us.
