Health Tips: Dengue Information from the DOH.

Note: the DOH link was not active for me lately so check the cache history via Google Chrome. Thanks, Eric.

Here is their recommendation for medicinal care:

"What is the drug/treatment for dengue?

There is no vaccine yet against dengue. Do not give aspirin for fever. Give sufficient amount of water or rehydrate a dengue suspect. If fever or symptoms persist for 2 or more days bring the patient to the nearest hospital."

Update, 9/2/2010:

"The Philippine Department of Health reported Wednesday that dengue cases in the country from January to August exceeded 62,000 cases. It is almost twice the number for the same eight-month period in 2009."

According to AHN, "Metro Manila had fewer dengue cases this year because the national capital region has been exposed to the Type 3 dengue strain and many Metro Manila residents have built immunity."
