Not only children but  even if an adult is diagnosed with these symptoms, he or she must be  rushed to the hospital without much delay.Dr. Hewage said the situation  was becoming critical with the spread of dengue as parents could be  confused whether it was dengue or the viral fever and therefore, it was  important for the patients to be treated at home.     “It is safer to obtain medical advice in the first instance of a  patient showing symptoms of fever,” he said and added that nearly 1,500  children were seeking treatment for fever at the LRH each day. Medical  advice is vital when treating fever patients as certain drugs given  without medical advice could be fatal.     National Hospital Director Dr. Hector Wirasingha, said the number of  patients admitted to the hospital with fever had increased sharply.Dailymirror</blockquote>
