 How to Care for the Patient While They Have a Fever:

 Bed rest. Let patient rest as much as possible.

 Control the fever.

 Give acetaminophen or paracetamol (Tylenol) every 6 hours (maximum 4 doses per day).  Do not give ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) aspirin, or aspirin containing drugs.

 Sponge patient’s skin with cool water if fever stays high.

 Prevent dehydration which occurs when a person loses too much fluid (from high fevers, vomiting,  or poor oral intake). Give plenty of fluids and watch for signs of dehydration. Bring patient to clinic or emergency room if any of the following signs develop:

 Decrease in urination (check number of wet diapers or trips to the bathroom)

 Few or no tears when child cries

 Dry mouth, tongue or lips

 Sunken eyes

 Listlessness or overly agitated or confused

 Fast heart beat (more than 100/min)

 Cold or clammy fingers and toes

 Sunken fontanel in infant

 Prevent spread of dengue within your house.

 Place patient under bed net or use insect repellent on the patient while they have a fever. Mosquitoes that bite the patient can go on to bite and infect others.

 KILL all mosquitoes in house and empty containers that carry water on patio.

 Put screens on windows and doors to prevent mosquitoes from coming into house.
