Dengue Fever is an acute, mosquito-borne viral infection caused by the Dengue virus (DENV 1–4), transmitted primarily by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. It is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, with outbreaks during and after the monsoon season.

The disease manifests after an incubation period of 4–10 days and presents with sudden high fever, severe headache, retro-orbital pain, muscle and joint aches (“break-bone fever”), rash, nausea, and weakness. Some cases progress to Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) or Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS), characterized by bleeding tendencies, plasma leakage, and circulatory failure.

Pathophysiology:
Viral replication triggers immune-mediated capillary leakage and thrombocytopenia, leading to bleeding and hypovolemia.

Diagnosis:

• Laboratory findings: Leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, raised hematocrit
• Serology: NS1 antigen, IgM/IgG antibodies

Conventional management focuses on fluid replacement, platelet monitoring, fever control, and rest, as there is no specific antiviral treatment.

Homoeopathy treats dengue fever holistically by enhancing the vital force, supporting the immune system, and addressing hemorrhagic tendencies and debility. Remedies are prescribed according to the stage of illness, symptom expression, and constitutional response.

Key goals include:

• Reducing fever and body pain
• Preventing platelet decline and hemorrhagic complications
• Enhancing recovery and vitality
• Supporting detoxification and immune response

Homoeopathy offers individualized management that complements supportive care, often aiding in faster recovery and reduction in post-febrile weakness.

Natural Homoeopathic remedies to get rid of Dengue Fever

High Fever with Severe Body and Joint Pain – Eupatorium Perfoliatum

Fever with extreme bone and muscle pain as if bones are broken. Intense headache and chill preceding fever. Tongue coated, thirst for cold water. One of the top remedies in classic “break-bone fever.”

High Temperature with Weakness and Thirst – Gelsemium Sempervirens

Fever with great prostration, trembling, and heaviness of limbs. No thirst during fever. Patient feels dull, drowsy, and dizzy. Useful in early stages of viral fevers.

Fever with Profuse Sweating and Restlessness – Arsenicum Album

Burning heat with great weakness, restlessness, and anxiety. Thirst for small sips of water. Useful in later stages with exhaustion or gastric irritation.

Fever with Hemorrhagic Manifestations – Crotalus Horridus

For dengue with bleeding gums, nosebleeds, or petechiae. Blood is dark, non-coagulable. Tremendous weakness and low platelet count. Prevents hemorrhagic complications.

Severe Pain in Muscles and Joints with Rash – Bryonia Alba

High fever with body ache aggravated by motion. Patient prefers to lie still. Thirst for large quantities of cold water. Rash may appear as fever subsides.

Fever with Chill and Thirst at Regular Intervals – China Officinalis

Useful in recurrent fevers with great debility and weakness from fluid loss. Patient feels better after rest and nourishment. Helps restore energy post-febrile phase.

Fever with Headache and Eye Pain – Belladonna

Sudden onset of high fever with throbbing headache, flushed face, and bright eyes. Pupils dilated. Helpful in early congestive stages of dengue fever.

Fever with Nausea and Digestive Upset – Nux Vomica

Dengue fever with gastric disturbance, nausea, and irritability. Fever worsens in the morning, with chills and shivering. Suited for overworked, sedentary individuals.

Persistent Fever with Low Platelet Count – Carica Papaya (Mother Tincture)

Promotes platelet regeneration and bone marrow function. Reduces thrombocytopenia and supports liver function. Commonly used as an adjuvant in dengue management.

Bleeding with Bruises and Petechiae – Phosphorus

Useful when bleeding occurs easily from nose, gums, or skin. Blood is bright red. The patient feels weak and faint after hemorrhage. Enhances blood quality and clotting balance.

Severe Exhaustion with Cold Perspiration – Veratrum Album

For collapse stage with profuse cold sweat, vomiting, and weakness. The patient is cold, pale, and anxious. Restores circulation and vitality in shock-like states.

Rash and Itching During Recovery – Rhus Toxicodendron

After fever subsides, rash appears with itching and burning. Patient feels restless and better from motion. Helps in complete recovery and skin healing.

Dengue with Nervous Weakness and Tremors – Phosphoric Acid

Low-grade fever with profound mental and physical exhaustion. Suited to post-dengue weakness with apathy and listlessness.

Hemorrhagic Tendency with Venous Congestion – Hamamelis Virginica

For dark, oozing blood and soreness of veins. Relieves vascular congestion and helps control internal bleeding during recovery.

Fever with Liver Affection and Bitter Taste – Chelidonium Majus

Useful when dengue affects liver function. Yellowish discoloration of eyes, bitter taste, and right-sided pain. Improves hepatic clearance.

Fever with Prolonged Weakness and Weight Loss – Arnica Montana

Weakness and soreness after dengue fever. Limbs ache as if bruised. Improves circulation and assists convalescence after viral fevers.

Fever with Low Immunity and Recurrence – Sulphur

For recurrent fevers due to constitutional weakness. Burning heat, thirst, and aversion to bathing. Restores vitality and resistance to future infections.

Fever with Thirstlessness and Puffy Face – Apis Mellifica

Fever without thirst, swelling around eyes, and sensitive skin. Worse from heat, better by cold application. Helpful in edematous and allergic tendencies post-dengue.

Dengue with Sudden Circulatory Collapse – Camphora

Body cold to touch, yet patient feels hot internally. Pulse weak or imperceptible. Used in emergency collapse states during dengue shock syndrome.

Post-Dengue Fatigue with Anemia – Ferrum Phosphoricum

Supports recovery in mild anemia and weakness after fever. Improves blood oxygenation and helps restore vitality.

Homoeopathy offers an effective complementary approach in Dengue Fever management, focusing on individualized symptom similarity, vitality restoration, and prevention of complications such as hemorrhage or shock.

Remedies like Eupatorium Perfoliatum, Crotalus Horridus, Carica Papaya, and Arsenicum Album are key in reducing symptom intensity, supporting platelet recovery, and accelerating convalescence.

Combined with adequate hydration, rest, nutritional support, and medical monitoring, homoeopathy can enhance recovery, minimize hospital duration, and promote complete systemic restoration after dengue infection.
