Understand the early symptoms of Dengue, Malaria, and Typhoid, the importance of avoiding unprescribed pain relievers, and when to get laboratory blood tests done.
Monsoon and post-monsoon months often bring a rise in febrile illnesses across Jalandhar and surrounding districts. Differentiating simple viral flu from Dengue, Chikungunya, or Typhoid requires clinical evaluation and prompt laboratory testing.
Dengue fever is characterized by sudden high-grade fever, severe retro-orbital (behind the eye) headache, intense joint/muscle aches ('breakbone fever'), and fatigue. Crucially, avoiding NSAIDs like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac is vital, as they can increase bleeding risks.
Hydration with oral rehydration salts (ORS), fresh coconut water, and clean fluids is the cornerstone of recovery. Platelet counts and hematocrit levels should be monitored under medical advice.
Our 24-hour diagnostic laboratory at Raahat Nursing Home provides rapid NS1 Dengue antigen, IgM/IgG antibody profiles, CBC, and Widal test reports within hours.
