Avranil B., 4

Barua is a 4-year-old child from a minority Buddhist family who lives with her parents and three siblings in a small shelter made of bamboo, tarpaulin, and plastic sheets. Her father works as a rickshaw puller, but his irregular income is barely enough to provide food and basic necessities for the family, making medical treatment unaffordable. When Barua developed severe diarrhea, high fever, abdominal pain, and dehydration due to dengue fever, she became weak, restless, and unable to eat or drink properly. Her illness has caused great concern for her parents and siblings, who fear for her safety and recovery. Without timely treatment, severe dehydration and complications from dengue fever could rapidly become life-threatening. The family learned about Helpster Charity through Helpster Volunteer Abu Sayeed.

Avronil Barua Raaj, a 4-year-old male child, was admitted to Orion Hospital on 29.04.2026 with complaints of frequent watery diarrhea, high-grade fever associated with dengue infection, generalized body weakness, lethargy, and poor oral intake. He was admitted through Helpster volunteer Abu Sayeed due to the severity of his condition and the need for urgent medical care. Following clinical assessment and necessary investigations, he was diagnosed with Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) with Severe Dehydration and Dengue Fever. During hospitalization, he received close monitoring, therapy for hypoxemia, evaluation and pharmacological management of pneumonia and fever, correction of fluid and electrolyte imbalance, nutritional support, and appropriate treatment for dengue fever. He remained hospitalized for three days and showed gradual clinical improvement with treatment. After stabilization of his condition, he was discharged on 02.05.2026 with medications, dietary advice, and follow-up instructions. The treatment expenses were fully supported by Helpster Charity, and the family expresses sincere gratitude to Helpster, its volunteers, and the hospital team for their kind support and care.

Physician suggested 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.
