Question

Intravenous fluids should be injected in case of dengue. Explain.

Answer 1

In Dengue, the patient suffers from high fever and vomiting which dehydrate the body. So for the treatment of disease, adequate rest and fluid intake are required. Intravenous fluid injection is a quick method to hydrate the body and also avoid vomiting out the fluid taken through the mouth. For that reason, intravenous fluids are given to the dengue-infected person.
