How to reduce dengue rashes?

As summer approaches, so does the increase in cases of Dengue fever. If you’re one of the unlucky few who’ve contracted it, then you know how annoying and painful it can be. One of the most common symptoms is rashes all over your body that itch like crazy! Thankfully, there are a few things you can do to reduce those pesky dengue rashes.

First Off: What is Dengue Fever?

Before we dive into ways to reduce dengue rashes, let’s take a quick look at what causes them in the first place.

Dengue fever is caused by four different but related types of viruses transmitted through mosquitoes. The most common vector for spreading dengue is Aedes mosquito which bites during daylight hours unlike other mosquitoes which usually bite at night-time.

Symptoms generally include high fever, severe headache, pain behind eyes (ouch!), joint and muscle pain and rash around 3-4 days later 😩

Unfortunately, there’s no vaccine or medication to cure or prevent the disease as such however you don’t have to panic since many people recover from this condition on their own just fine with proper care.

So without further ado here are some amazing tips that’ll help ease your discomfort:

1) Keep Yourself Hydrated

This one probably seems obvious when talking about any illness or ailment….but hydration plays an important role in reducing dengue symptoms overall including recovery time as well as minimizing outbreak related complications.The more water being consumed,the less risk of dehydration getting triggered too due to frequent vomiting/diarrhea/sweating etc caused by ding-dong-dang-DENGUE!

Drinking plain water throughout day would ensure our bodies stay adequately hydrated; alternatively natural fruit juices may also work wonders-just make sure they contain no added sugar.

2) Avoid Scratching, Yet Stay Clean

The itchiness caused by the rash may incentivize us to scratch in aim of getting some relief, yet–PLEASE DO NOT SCRATCH!

Scratching will only aggravate itching and cause it to spread further which is not ideal since spreading rashes might intensify stress on a system that’s already having difficulty balancing itself.🙅‍♀️

What can be done instead is………taking cool water bath (not cold!) or applying colunidal oatmeals, soothing creams/lotions,and wearing loose cotton outfits that’ll promote sweating which then helps reduce body temperature 🌡️.

3) Get Your Rest

When we’re feeling unwell ,resting comes as one of key things needed for quick healing. Time spent lounging around during dengue outbreak helps significantly !

It allows our immune system enough time/wellness checkpoint to focus energies required fighting off virus/infections attacking good cells inside our bodies; thus sleep/recovery become top priority over exertion (may lead to worsening symptoms) so try finding comfortable spots within home where quiet space exists!

4) Lookout For Signs Of Bleeding

In severe cases related with Dengue hemorrhagic fever (which occurs less commonly typically more amongst people who’ve contracted dengue previously) this condition causes bleeding from gums/nose/mouths/vaginas plus other abnormal internal external bleeding which only adds complications .These rare case demands emergency medical treatment at hospital setting immediately once identified.

Phew ! Those were some tips no?? Hope they made you chuckle little as well while providing insight into what needs addressing for reducing flu-like symptoms experienced due to Ding-Dong -Dang DENGUE!

Remember: taking adequate care before and after contracting such serious diseases like Dengue plays critical role in speeding recovery rate… Such Self-care measures if approached mindfully and followed properly cozily can make all difference for those impacted by this viral fever.
