Not all fevers are dengue or malaria infections. But in this ongoing dengue season, you should seek immediate medical advice from a qualified medical practitioner or hospital for any change in your body temperature.
Following information is NOT a replacement for expert medical advice.
Prevention (In principle, there is no concept of Prevention Medicines in homeopathy yet clinical experience supports it in some cases. Hussain Kaisrani)
Malaria Officinalis 30c can be used as a preventive measure against dengue and malaria fever:
One dose in the morning and one in the evening for two days.
Repeat after 1 week for 3 weeks.
Treatment
(1) If fever starts with vomiting:
Ipcac 30c – One dose only in the beginning. This will take care of vomiting in couple of hours.
Ferrum Phos 30x, Natrum Sulph 30x: Take both these medicines alternatively every 4 hours. These will take care of fever (and skin rashes if any.)
(2) If fever is accompanied by extreme pain in the body:
Ipcac 30c – One dose only in the beginning. This will take care of vomiting in couple of hours.
Eupatorium perfoliatum 30c – 4 doses with 4 hour interval. This will take care of the body pain.
Ferrum Phos 30x, Natrum Sulph 30x: Take these medicines alternatively every 4 hours for two days. These will take care of fever. (and skin rashes if any.)
(3) If blood platelets count goes down too low, bleeding can start. This is an emergency and you should immediately transfer the patient to the hospital. A single dose of Crotalus horridus 30c can help stop the bleeding.
