Dengue
The monsoon season indeed brings about an increase in the incidence of vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue due to the proliferation of mosquitoes. Managing these diseases effectively is crucial to prevent complications.
What is Dengue and what are the symptoms?
Dengue is caused by the dengue virus, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. Symptoms include –
- High fever
- Severe headache

Severe dengue (dengue hemorrhagic fever)
Severe dengue (dengue hemorrhagic fever) can lead to bleeding, blood plasma leakage, and potentially to dengue shock syndrome, which is fatal.
Conventional Treatment
For dengue, there is no specific antiviral treatment. Management involves supportive care such as maintaining hydration, pain relief, and monitoring for complications like hemorrhage and organ failure.
How can Homeopathy help ?
Homeopathy can:
- Stabilize Platelet Count: Homeopathy helps in managing thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) which is a major concern in dengue.
- Provide Symptomatic Relief: Remedies are aimed at alleviating symptoms like fever, pain, and weakness
- Improve Vital Parameters: Homeopathic treatment can enhance overall health and support vital functions.
- Prevention of complications and improving immunity.
Monitor Health Parameters Closely

What precautions can be taken to prevent Dengue?
- Mosquito Control: Eliminating mosquito breeding sites (e.g., stagnant water) and using mosquito repellents, nets, and screens are crucial.
- Personal Protection:Wearing protective clothing, using mosquito nets, and avoiding outdoor activities during peak mosquito activity times (dawn and dusk) can help.
