Dengue Fever (demam berdarah)


Kesaksian NO 32

Name : Muhammad Syafiq bin Mohd. Hatta & Muhammad Syazril bin Mohd. Hatta
Age : Syafiq (9) & Syazril (8)
Gender : Male
Health problem: Dengue Fever
Both Syafiq & Syazril are our normal primary school-goers, who are cheeky, active & full of energy. They cannot sit still and always fill a room with laughter and joy wherever they are. But everything changes when the epidemic outbreak of dengue hit Malaysia and other part of the Asian countries somewhere this year (2005).
Dengue is a highly infectious disease carried by the infected Aedes mosquitoes & is caused by any of the four related dengue viruses. This disease used to be called break-bone fever because it sometimes causes severe joint and muscle pain that feels like bones are breaking. However, neither vaccination nor specific treatment is available at the moment.
When the 2 boys were infected, they were marked by high fever, extreme fatigue & severe muscle & joint pain. Both of them were not as jovial & energetic as before, instead were weak & exhausted. The poor boys were admitted to the hospital & were given paracetamol & intravenous fluid. During the epidemic period, a lot of unfortunate infected people (with hemorrhagic dengue) were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit, and if that were the case, these patients would not survive.
Fortunate enough, the boys were given Cellfood by their father. They were given 5 drops each, 4 times a day. Miraculously, a mere 2 days after given Cellfood, their fever & muscle & joint pain subsided! They were then discharged from the hospital & had since continued their daily activities; go to school, finish school assignments & play hard!
