— Understanding the condition —
What do dengue complications really mean?
Dengue is a viral infection spread by infected Aedes mosquitoes, which breed in clean, stagnant water. In Hyderabad, cases rise during and after the monsoon. For most people it improves in about a week. In some, blood vessels leak plasma, platelets fall, bleeding can occur, and in serious cases blood pressure drops dangerously (shock).
Dengue follows three phases: the fever phase (days 1 to 3), the critical phase (around days 3 to 7, often as the fever falls), when complications are most likely, and the recovery phase.
“There is no specific antiviral medicine for dengue. Treatment is careful fluids, symptom relief, and close monitoring. Knowing the warning signs matters far more than any single remedy.”
— Know the warning signs —
Warning signs that dengue may be turning serious
These usually appear around the time the fever begins to settle. If you notice any of them, contact a doctor urgently, the same day.
Severe stomach pain
Severe or continuous stomach pain, or tenderness in the belly.
Repeated vomiting
Persistent or repeated vomiting that makes drinking difficult.
Bleeding
From the nose or gums, blood in vomit or stool, or black stools.
Extreme tiredness
Restlessness, irritability, or unusual sleepiness.
Very little urine
Little or no urine for 6 to 8 hours.
Cold skin & racing heart
Cold, clammy skin, rapid breathing, or a racing heartbeat.
— Risk factors —
Who is more at risk of complications?
Dengue spreads through the bite of an infected mosquito, not from person to person. Some people are more likely to develop complications.
Infants & Young Children
Children can deteriorate more quickly and need close watching.
Pregnant Women
Need careful monitoring throughout the illness.
Older Adults
More likely to develop complications and deteriorate quickly.
Chronic Conditions
Diabetes, high blood pressure, heart, kidney, or liver disease.
Previous Dengue
A later infection with a different type can be more severe.
Bleeding Risk
Bleeding disorders, or taking blood-thinning medicines.
Not Enough Fluids
Not drinking enough can make the illness worse.
Wrong Painkillers
Aspirin, ibuprofen, or diclofenac can increase bleeding risk.
— Our approach to dengue care —
Care that catches problems early
We confirm the diagnosis, read your reports together with your symptoms, and set up a clear monitoring plan.
1. Detailed Conversation
When the fever began, eating, drinking, urine output, any bleeding, and other conditions.
2. Careful Examination
Pulse, blood pressure, hydration, skin, belly, and chest, looking for leakage or bleeding.
3. Targeted Tests
NS1 or antibody tests, blood counts with platelets and haematocrit, and more as needed.
4. Monitoring & Care
Fluids, safe fever relief, daily checks, or hospital care when it is needed.

— Questions patients usually ask —
Common concerns, honest answers
Often around day 3 to 7, when the fever begins to fall. This is the critical phase, when plasma can leak from the blood vessels and platelets can drop. Warning signs such as severe stomach pain, repeated vomiting, bleeding, or unusual drowsiness mean you should seek medical help the same day.
There is no single number that applies to everyone. Doctors look at the platelet trend together with symptoms, the haematocrit, and signs of bleeding or leakage. Many people with low platelets recover without transfusion, but a rapidly falling count, or any warning sign, needs medical attention.
It is not needed for everyone with a low count. Doctors usually reserve it for people with significant bleeding or in specific high-risk situations. It is a decision for your doctor.
Paracetamol is generally considered safe at the right dose. Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, diclofenac, and similar medicines unless your doctor advises, as they can increase the risk of bleeding.
Staying well hydrated is one of the most important parts of dengue care. Your doctor will tell you how much is right for you or your child. Oral rehydration solution, soups, and other safe fluids are often advised. If you cannot drink, are vomiting repeatedly, or are passing very little urine, see a doctor.
There is no strong medical evidence that it treats dengue or reliably raises platelets. Please do not use it as a substitute for medical care.
Most people feel better within one to two weeks, though tiredness can last longer. Your doctor may advise a follow-up blood test to make sure your counts have recovered.
Go straight away if there is severe or continuous stomach pain, repeated vomiting, bleeding, black stools, extreme drowsiness, confusion, fainting, a seizure, severe breathing difficulty, or cold, clammy skin with a weak, fast pulse. Children, pregnant women, and older adults can deteriorate more quickly, so please do not delay.
