dengue feverbecause of Dengue The virus, which is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, is on the rise across the country. Many patients continue to experience a range of symptoms even after recovery that can hamper daily activities. But what are these symptoms? Why do they happen? How to manage them? We have listed five common symptoms after recovery and ways to manage them effectively.

One of the most common symptoms after dengue is prolonged fatigue and general weakness. After the acute phase of the illness, many patients feel unusually tired, even after adequate rest.

Dengue fever can drain the body’s energy reserves and significantly affect the immune system. The virus affects the body’s metabolic processes, leading to a prolonged state of low energy and weakness.

– Rest and recovery: Ensure adequate rest for the body to recover.

– Balanced diet: Include a diet rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals to increase energy levels.

– Gradual exercise: Start with light exercises like walking or yoga to gradually build up strength.

Joint and muscle pain, often called “dengue arthritis,” may persist even after the fever subsides. This pain can be debilitating and affect daily activities.

The immune response to the dengue virus can cause inflammation in joints and muscles, causing long-term pain and discomfort.

– Anti-inflammatory medications: Over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen can help reduce inflammation and pain.

– Hydration: Staying adequately hydrated helps flush out toxins and reduce inflammation.

– Physical therapy: Doing physiotherapy exercises can help reduce joint and muscle pain.

Many people suffering from dengue suffer from excessive hair fall even after recovery.

The high fever and stress on the body during dengue fever causes hair follicles to go into a dormant state, resulting in increased hair loss after recovery.

– Gentle hair care: Use mild shampoos and avoid harsh treatments or styling tools.

– Nutritious diet: A diet rich in vitamins and minerals, especially biotin, zinc and iron, can promote hair health.

It is common to have psychological symptoms such as depression and anxiety after recovering from dengue. Prolonged illness and its debilitating effects can take a toll on mental health.

Along with the physical stress of dengue, the stress of severe illness can lead to psychological distress. In addition, inflammation and immune responses can affect brain function, leading to mood changes.

– Seek support: Talking to friends, family, or a mental health professional can provide emotional support.

– Mindfulness practices: Techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, and yoga can help manage stress and anxiety.

– Healthy lifestyle: Regular physical activity, a balanced diet and adequate sleep are essential for mental health.

After dengue, the immune system can be weakened, making the body more susceptible to infections and diseases.

Why does this happen:

The dengue virus significantly affects the immune system, which may take time to function normally after infection.

– Prevention of infection: Maintain good hygiene, avoid crowded places, and get vaccinated where necessary to prevent other infections.

– Immunity-boosting foods: Include foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and E, and other nutrients that promote immune health in your diet.

– Regular health check-ups: Visit a doctor regularly to monitor and manage any potential health problems.
