Petechiae Dengue - #4907

Anonymously

Recently, my cousin was diagnosed with dengue, and along with the usual symptoms like fever and body pain, we noticed small red spots on his skin. After researching, I found out these are called petechiae dengue, and they’re a common sign of platelet reduction caused by the virus. It’s really alarming to see these petechiae dengue spots, and I want to understand what they mean and how to address them. How serious are petechiae dengue spots, and do they indicate worsening of the condition? I’ve read that petechiae dengue can happen when the blood vessels are under pressure due to low platelet counts, but does that mean he needs immediate medical attention if more spots appear? Are there any Ayurvedic remedies or foods that can help reduce petechiae dengue and improve platelet levels naturally? We’ve been giving him papaya leaf juice and plenty of fluids, but the petechiae dengue spots are still visible. Does anyone have experience managing petechiae dengue through Ayurvedic treatments or natural methods? How long do these petechiae dengue spots usually last, and do they disappear once platelet levels stabilize? Lastly, should we avoid any specific foods or habits to ensure his condition doesn’t worsen? If anyone has tips for managing petechiae dengue safely and effectively, please share.

Petechiae in dengue is a result of the low platelet count, indicating that the body is struggling to maintain proper blood circulation and clotting. While these spots themselves are not usually dangerous, they can be a sign of the condition worsening, particularly if more spots appear or if there are other signs of bleeding. It’s crucial to closely monitor platelet levels through medical tests and seek immediate medical attention if there is a significant drop. Ayurveda suggests supporting the immune system and blood health during dengue with herbs like papaya leaf juice, which helps increase platelet count, as well as amla (Indian gooseberry) for boosting vitamin C and overall immunity. It's important to ensure hydration with fluids such as coconut water and to avoid foods that are too spicy, oily, or acidic, as they can increase body heat and inflammation. Petechiae usually disappear once platelet levels stabilize, but this can take a few days to a week depending on recovery. If the spots persist or worsen, medical supervision should be prioritized.
