The peak of dengue fever is the first few days

The extreme phase of dengue fever is usually referred to as days 10 to 14, but the exact timing varies from person to person. Patients need to seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the condition.

Dengue fever is an acute infectious disease caused by dengue virus, which is mainly transmitted by mosquito bites, and its clinical features are mainly high fever, rash, headache, muscle and bone and joint pain, etc. The symptoms of the disease generally gradually worsen on the 3rd to 5th day after the onset of the disease, when the body temperature can reach more than 39°C, and there will also be obvious headaches, muscle aches and other symptoms. As the disease progresses, the patient's body temperature will gradually drop, but the skin will develop a large number of red rashes, accompanied by abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms.If the patient's physical fitness is relatively good and he actively cooperates with the doctor's treatment, he may enter the extreme phase around the 10th day. However, if the patient's physical fitness is relatively poor and he does not actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, he may not enter the extreme phase until about the 14th day.

It is recommended that patients go to the infectious disease department of a regular hospital in time and actively cooperate with doctors for targeted treatment. For patients with fever, they can take ibuprofen extended-release capsules, acetaminophen tablets and other drugs for antipyretic treatment according to the doctor's instructions. For patients with rashes, antipruritic treatment can be treated with medications such as calamine lotion and desonide cream as prescribed. If necessary, you can also take antiviral drugs such as acyclovir tablets and valacyclovir hydrochloride tablets as prescribed by your doctor for treatment.

In daily life, patients should pay attention to personal protective measures and avoid going to crowded places. At the same time, you should also pay attention to rest, ensure enough sleep time, and avoid staying up late. Try to eat light and easy-to-digest foods, such as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, etc.
