What includes the treatment of acute dengue within mild to moderate degree which is supportive?
Supportive treatment for mild to moderate dengue includes:
* Pain relief: Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is typically recommended for pain relief. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and aspirin, should be avoided as they may increase the risk of bleeding.
* Rest: Patients with dengue should rest and avoid strenuous activity.
* Oral rehydration therapy: Oral rehydration salts (ORS) should be used to prevent dehydration. ORS is a mixture of water, salts, and sugars that can be easily absorbed by the body.
* Intravenous fluids: In some cases, intravenous fluids may be necessary to prevent or treat dehydration.
* Blood transfusion: In severe cases, blood transfusion may be necessary to replace lost red blood cells and platelets.
* Monitoring: Patients with dengue should be monitored for signs of worsening disease, such as abdominal pain, vomiting, or bleeding.
