Notes of Thai Mommy: "Denga Fever looks like a cruel hangover"

Anonim

After all, I remembered him, this cute Komarika. I even managed to note what kind of it is cute: he looked like a zebra with his black and white coloring, sorry for a strange comparison. He sat on the door of the car, coming up with his long legs. But there was no time to admire it for a long time. Sogns Komara hand, I boot into the car and rushed on my vacation cases.

... And a few days later I was already lying without my strength, then choking the heat, then freezing in three warm plaids. In the hospital, where I, little understanding, transported the husband, the doctors confirmed the obvious: dengue fever. I will live, but the nearest week-two will have to be very tight.

In fact, the Komar "Aedes Aegypti", who so afraid of all the inhabitants of Southeast Asia and, which is a carrier of dengue fever, - today is found around the world. This hyadnah, it turns out, can survive even at a minus temperature and quietly moves along the planet in the used tires.

The symptoms of the dengue fever are a lot - it is lousy in the joints, and constantly jumping temperature, no appetite, vomiting, terrible weakness, dizziness. But if you personally describe my sensations, then I, a girl with turbulent young people (and maturity, however, too) would compare the course of this disease with the most severe hangover. This is when you throws it in the heat, then in the cold. When you can't tear off your head from the pillow, but you still can't sleep. When the type of food you grows you, and nausea does not let go of the clock. When the joints hurt, and the muscles feel like after a taliflometer jogging. When the eyes are red, like a rabbit, and the female swelling is noticeable even to people who are strangers. A bonus for this is a rash throughout the body - well, so that you understand that this is still some kind of tropical sore, and not the consequences of long and rapid videos.

The worst thing is that there are no vaccinations against dengue. As well as drugs. That is, you, of course, can knock down the temperature with ordinary means or lie under the dropper to clean the blood. But here to drink a tablet - and forgive, fever, - this has not yet come up with. Therefore, the Thais themselves are feverly afraid of dengue, because one of the forms are fatal.

In my case, everything was aggravated by the fact that I was breastfeeding. And, as the doctor assured me, it was simply obliged to continue breastfeeding. What meant: no medicines, I could not even knock down the temperature, not to mention the droppers. So, that week I remember vaguely: Stephen brought Stephen several times a day several times a day, and I, without leaving the hot delight, performed my maternal debt.

All this time I could not eat, only saw some kind of giant amount of water, fruit juices and hot tea. And in the end, during illness and forced starvation, I lost weight immediately for a couple of sizes. Although it is just that rare case, when I was not at all gladly lost kilograms. However, as people say those who know, "what quickly goes, quickly and comes." So, after a week later, my weight again returned to the "validity" period (Hey, kilograms, I did not mean that I waited for you back!). But I could again go outside. And during the first exit "in people" I found that in just one week on the island a lot has changed ...
