In confirmed or suspected cases of dengue or chikungunya, the doctor Carlos Morinigo urged do not resort to concoctions as the horchata or suckling leaf tea. Do not take aspirin either despite the bodily pain caused by this disease. In the case of high fever, paracetamol can be taken after consulting a doctor (do not self-medicate). He did recommend hydrating a lot, using repellent and cleaning the house to eliminate mosquito breeding sites.
“It is a very disease prostrate, a very aggressive clinical picture. The most characteristic are the pain and immobility in the patients, with basic pathologies it totally decompensates them…. Luckily we don’t have many hospitalization cases but we do have outpatients”, explained the professional in an interview with Universo radio.
The interviewee commented that if one person gets sick, the rest of the house is also likely to do so because the mosquito is within a 10-meter radius, so insistence should be placed on cleaning and eliminating breeding sites of mosquitoes that transmit dengue, chikungunya and zika.
“In pyta hill we are doing a raking and cleanliness throughout the area. We need them to get their act together in all the communities and go out and clean up,” he stressed.
