dengue for 1 yr baby???

hi headspin,

dont know whether it can affect or not but get vigourous diagnosis done for the li'l one.

Hope your LO doesnot have anything of this sort.

Lots of healthy vibes to your li'l one.

Deepa.

 

Headspin, I hope he gets alright with a negetive result on any dangerous fever.. I wonder on what basis the dr. suspects dengue for the LO.. is the dr. a pead? do you see dengue related symptoms on LO? did they take required tests? if you are still waiting for test results, I suggest you go for a second opinion meanwhile. just to make sure you are not subjecting LO to wrong diagnosis/ rounds of medications if any. Hope your family is being supportive at this point.

I can feel your pain. Well my baby just suffered from typhoid. I have posted the details in another post under Toddlers. She even spent her first birthday in the hospital because of it. Well, in short, she had persistent fever for almost a month. It was low grade feevr. and sometimes loose motion. some times vomiting (rare). But always the fever. Then towards the end it was persistent fever above 104 which did not come down even with pead crocin. I tried 2 -3 paeds except for her regular paedm and no one could diagnose properly. Then she had to be admitted in emergency. That is when a detailed testing again ( by then she already had undergone two blood tests, urine tests and stool testS atleast once before) showed that she had typhoid. Typhoid vaccine is given at 2 years. But she got it at 11 months. It is really very very sad.

Who is ur paed and which place are they telling you to get admitted to? I am asking because i can see that you are in kolkata. Correct me if i am wrong.

As far as thinking that 1 yr old can get dengue, when i was in the hospital,, loads of children came in with the same symptons, but almost all of them had foodpoising (it was durga pooja season and bad streeat food) or typhoid.

 

Hi,

My daughter suffered with dengue fever last year around October when she was 9 months old.

Please get a platelet count check done. She was having around 50K platelets which was vey low and was hospitalized for 3 days.

Also check if she is internally bleeding (drak color stools, rashes in the body etc)

If there is no internal bleeding there is nothing to worry though the platelet count is low. Feed the baby with lot of liquids.

I pray that your baby gets well soon

Thanks
