Rakibul I., 5

Mohammed Rakibul Islam is a 4-year-7-month-old child living with his father, Mohammad Ahad, a rickshaw puller, his mother, Sharmin Akter, and his two siblings in a small, fragile shelter where rainwater often leaks through the roof. The family depends entirely on his father’s daily earnings, which are barely enough to provide food, leaving no savings for medical emergencies. Rakibul is currently suffering from acute watery diarrhea with severe dehydration and dengue fever, causing frequent loose stools, high-grade fever, weakness, and severe abdominal pain. When his condition worsened, he was taken to Orion Hospital, where urgent treatment was advised, but the cost is beyond the family’s ability to afford. The family learned about Helpster Charity through Helpster Volunteer Ahammod Ali Azad and is now seeking support, as without timely treatment his condition may become life-threatening.

Rakibul Islam, a 4.7-year-old male child, was admitted to Orion Hospital on 14.03.2026 with a diagnosis of acute watery diarrhea with severe dehydration through Helpster Volunteer. During hospitalization, he received appropriate supportive management, including intravenous fluids to correct severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, along with close monitoring and necessary medical treatment under the supervision of the hospital team. He remained admitted for 3 days and gradually improved with treatment. The patient was discharged on 17.03.2026 in stable condition with prescribed medications, dietary advice, and follow-up instructions. All treatment expenses were fully supported by Helpster Charity, and the family expresses heartfelt gratitude to Helpster Charity, its volunteers, and the Orion Hospital team for their compassionate care and support.

With immediate hospitalization and proper treatment, including fluid and electrolyte correction, the child’s condition is expected to improve significantly, with stabilization of hydration status and reduction of symptoms. Continuous monitoring and supportive care will help manage fever, pain, and prevent further complications related to both diarrhea and dengue fever. Early intervention greatly reduces the risk of life-threatening outcomes and supports a full recovery. However, if left untreated, severe dehydration can lead to shock, organ failure, and even death. Additionally, untreated dengue infection may progress to more serious forms, increasing the risk of bleeding complications and further deterioration of the child’s condition.
