Travellers Guide To DENGUE FEVER! 😷

For those of you who follow me on KZread, you will already know that I was unfortunate enough to contract dengue fever whilst we were staying in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. What was even worse was that I started developing symptoms on my way to Singapore where I had a planned a 3 day trip with Scott. Brilliant timing has always been my strong point!
So I thought I would share my dengue fever story, what it is, what symptoms you need to look out for and what to do if you think you have contracted dengue fever!
Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional. I am simply a traveller who has been unfortunate enough to get dengue fever recently and wishes to share her experience. Please consult a medical professional if you are concerned you have contracted dengue fever.

    This is a great explanation. I had a mosquito borne virus last year that I caught. Attacked my kidneys. I was flown back to the uk with a doctor on oxygen. I am still in recovery but talk about it on my KZread channel. I didn't go to the hospital straight away mine went too far

    Hi! that was a very good informative video, but one thing you should have mantioned was endemic areas where there is a higher risk of dengue fever. I mean, if you present with similar sympthoms but you visited France or Italy it is unlikely you have got it.

    I did just come out of the hospital after my platelets dropped dangerously low to 24. Had to have a transfusion and all of the shebang. A bit hard to get back into the swing of things, but we gotta do what we gotta do!

    My platelet count was 22,000. I took peoples advice of "wait it out"...4 days later I almost died (anything under 20,000 is blood transfusion and possibly death). DO NOT WAIT IT OUT!

    Papaya leaf extracts are also used here in India for Dengue patients.

  • @scott5539
    @scott55395 жыл бұрын

    I just had dengue in Malaysia. I wanted to point out that the Papaya extract doesn't have any solid medical backing from what I could find. It's a more likely coincidental improvement for you because I had a terrible night as well where ironically my platelets magically rose 20k when it had been slowly dropping for 8 days yet I didn't change my diet. The human body just works that way it seems. The best method is to avoid getting it in the first place, and second is staying extremely hydrated and under the best medical care you can find. I guess I want to point out that it's better to be under an IV with a doctor looking after you than wasting time running around trying to find Papaya extract. Time is incredibly important here, so maybe make the local "home remedies" a secondary approach ONLY after you've received primary care. PAY THE MONEY, SEE A DOCTOR.

    I was in Kenya recently, got severe dengue with internal bleeding from the stomach, then bleeding from my gums. My plates went down to 3 and was very critical i was rushed to emergency and got plates transfusion it took 2 days for my plates to reach 40.

    Melly Stubbs : Hi, sorry. Dont wait go see the doctor so they can check your bloodplates, cause you could have internal bleeding without knowing it, suddenly you can see blood when going to toilet.

    In Mumbai degue fever is very common. Last October .. I have had this fever. Excruciatingly painful experience I had .. specially joint and muscle pain.. Headache was like migraine attack. Thanks to ALLAH and my local Doctor .. She helped me to recover from this within a normal range of medications. Otherwise unnecessarily doctors here hospitalise ppl and charge more ..however their platelet count were above 50000..(no need) 1 weeks treatment in multispeciality hospital costs around 60-70000 Indian Rupees. Oh my lord .. she treated me within 2000INR. I wasn't hospitalised. Mine Platelet count was 99000 . I diagnosed at critical period of dengue. After 5 days of hilarious fever.

    I've traveled extensively in many Asian countries 8x Thailand, 2x Myanmar (Burma), Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Africa, India, and never got Dengue. I don't believe we need to worry about it- just take the proper precautions. Long sleeve pants and shirt sleeves if your not recently deet covered. Just be smart about it and use the deet spray. Spray hat and socks if you use them. -Davy

    Davy Boy I just got it after being bitten in my beach home in Peru. I beg to differ. It is indeed something to worry about. It's not even summer time. It is barely spring. We have an epidemic here in Lambaque Peru. 48 deaths this year alone
