Let me put on my Health Promotion Specialist hat: 2 Dengue facts:
1. Symptoms of severe Dengue - belly pain, vomiting - go to the doctor
2. Children - when the fever breaks is the most dangerous time - watch them closely; don’t send them off to school/daycare
2 more Dengue facts:
1. Drink lots of fluids - drink something/give the kids a drink every half hour
2. Take Panadol, Cetamol, Painol (read the label; look for ACETAMINOPHEN) - if you are not sure, ask the pharmacist. Don’t just buy a “fever medicine”
That’s it for today.
