00:00An expert will remind you about the home remedies that are used for patients with dengue.
00:06Witness, Katrina Song.
00:12A few years ago, Grace Tigao's two children had dengue.
00:17When they experienced a fever, she immediately examined them in the hospital.
00:23Her brother was first diagnosed, then her brother and his cousins followed suit.
00:28When she tested positive for dengue, she was admitted to the hospital.
00:32Her daughter's nose was even more swollen.
00:36Even when she was in the hospital,
00:37she was asked to drink carrot juice and laughs.
00:42That's what old people do.
00:44Laugh, Madam, but not until now.
00:48That's verbal.
00:50To Madam, that's what's beautiful.
00:53This is the story of her daughter, Joanne.
00:55Aside from laughing and carrot juice, she also ate boiled eggs several times.
01:01It's like, at night, the dengue attacks are just for safety.
01:07My head hurts.
01:09Drinking boiled laughs or papaya leaves,
01:14even eating eggs, are just a few of the beliefs of some Filipinos
01:18that can help to cure dengue.
01:22But according to an adult infectious disease specialist,
01:26Let's start with the boiled egg.
01:28It has nothing to do with increasing platelets.
01:32Second, the herbals, the laughs.
01:36We don't have substantial data that it will help us in terms of increasing platelets.
01:43Maybe our advice here, Katrina,
01:46These interventions that we don't have new evidence and solid evidence,
01:52maybe we won't use it.
01:54What is needed for dengue is hydration,
01:58to rest and monitor the patient's condition.
02:01Avoid eating colored or dark-colored foods
02:05to monitor if there is poison in the body.
02:09Also, don't drink ibuprofen because it can be harmful.
02:13The symptoms of dengue will also be remembered.
02:16First, you will experience a fever,
02:19body aches,
02:20headache.
02:22In three days, you will experience a drop in platelets
02:25and some may experience a nosebleed.
02:29In five to seven days,
02:32the fever will go down,
02:33but the platelets will drop even more.
02:36This is what is called a critical phase.
02:39And if it is not recovered here, there may be severe dengue.
02:43My advice to patients is,
02:46for the first three days of symptoms,
02:47let them see a doctor.
02:48Because the most common symptom is fever.
02:51The so-called frontal rashes
02:54might not be present during the first three days.
02:56It's important that early diagnosis,
03:00we will anticipate the possibility that they will be admitted
03:04or sent home.
03:06According to Dr. Solantes,
03:07on the first day of the disease,
03:09the patient should still be tested.
03:12If it is negative,
03:14but there are dengue-like symptoms,
03:16you can go back to the first three days
03:17for another dengue test.
03:19You should also get a platelet count every day
03:23to monitor the patient's condition.
03:25It is also important not to be impatient
03:27and to see a doctor immediately.
