00:00Ciling labuyo is not a medicine for dengue.
00:03That's what the health department clarified
00:05against the spreading of information online.
00:08Even the plant Tawa-tawa
00:10that has FDA-approved products
00:12is just a supplement and not a medicine.
00:15Tina Panganiban Perez was shocked.
00:20The small but terrible Ciling labuyo
00:24is a spice and a spice, that's why it's a favorite in the society.
00:26But some posts on social media
00:29claim that Ciling labuyo is a medicine for dengue.
00:33The Department of Health quickly admitted
00:35that this is not true.
00:37There is no medicine for dengue
00:39and the best way to avoid getting sick
00:42is to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes.
00:44DOH also reminded
00:46to only get information
00:48from legitimate sources and platforms
00:50like their online pages.
00:53Bayabas and Tawa-tawa are also not medicine for dengue.
01:00In the management of dengue, Tina,
01:03those three are not on the list.
01:06There are anecdotal reports,
01:10especially in Tawa-tawa,
01:12which were also given attention
01:14by DOST and PCHRD
01:16that there is this kind of research.
01:19But it did not reach the level yet
01:21of a significant finding
01:23that it really has a cure for dengue.
01:29Even though there are products made in Tawa-tawa
01:32approved by the Food and Drug Administration
01:34as herbal supplements,
01:36it is still not medicine for dengue.
01:39These are supplements.
01:41This is not for cure or for the treatment
01:43of something like this
01:45because there is no data.
01:47You'll still go to the doctor,
01:49you'll still go to the healthcare facilities
01:52to get the better treatment
01:54of dengue treatments
01:56like for example fluid,
01:58replacement of fluid,
02:00blood transfusion,
02:02monitoring of the hydration status.
02:05The symptoms of dengue include
02:07fever, body aches,
02:09headache, and dizziness.
02:11You should consult a doctor
02:13within two to three days
02:15and do not wait for the symptoms to go away.
02:18They cough,
02:20they feel dizzy,
02:23others have blood in their mouth
02:28or in their nose.
02:30That's already a warning sign.
02:33According to the Department of Health,
02:35more than 67,000 cases of dengue
02:38have been reported in the country
02:40from January to May,
02:42which is expected to increase
02:44with the arrival of rain.
02:46While there are no vaccines and medicines
02:48against dengue in the Philippines,
02:50it is still difficult to stop the disease.
02:52According to Solante,
02:54it is important to clean the surroundings
02:56so that there is no water
02:58that can contaminate the plants
03:00such as water in the canal,
03:02buckets, plants, or wheels.
03:04DOH also recommends
03:06to wear long-sleeved clothes
03:08and use mosquito repellants.
03:10The various local governments
03:12have their own countermeasures
03:14against dengue,
03:16such as Montinlupa,
03:19where more than 500 volunteers
03:21collect garbage
03:23from roads, canals, and creeks.
