Hello doctor, My son is 6 years old and weighs 24.4 kg. He develops common cold quite often. I am also worried as dengue is spreading around my community and I would like to give him some medication which is preventive in nature. I would like to know what is the best medicine regime for my son to prevent dengue.
Hello. Eupatorium mother tincture is definitely a good choice of preventive remedy for dengue. You may give him 5 to 7 drops of this remedy mixed in half a cup of water once a day as a preventive medicine. If he has milder symptoms of fever or body ache then it can be taken twice a day. Gelsemium 200cc is another good remedy for dengue if he gets dull and drowsy during the fever. This remedy can be given twice a day for five days or until feels better. Kindly consider a general preventive measure for dengue like immediately consult a doctor for milder symptoms like fever. Take plenty of water, fluids and rest, rest under the bed net while you have a fever. Eat healthy and nutritious food. I am sure if you follow above steps he will less likely contract dengue. Just give him Eupatorium mother tincture as a preventive remedy for a week. Kindly let me know if you have any questions.
