Shabnaz Parvin K., 18

The patient has been diagnosed with Epistaxis with viral fever. Epistaxis refers to bleeding from the nose, which may occur due to irritation or inflammation of the nasal lining, while viral fever is caused by a viral infection. The patient experienced recurrent nosebleeds for approximately 10 days, accompanied by high-grade fever, body aches, and lower abdominal pain, requiring medical evaluation and treatment. Without appropriate assessment and care, persistent nosebleeds may lead to significant blood loss and anaemia, while the underlying illness may worsen or cause further complications.

The 18-year-old college student is studying in her first year of intermediate education and dreams of continuing her studies to build a better future. She lives with her family of five in Geneva Camp, Mohammadpur, Dhaka, where her father works at a meat shop and earns only BDT 9,000 (approximately USD 73) per month, while her mother is a homemaker, making it difficult to cover basic household expenses and unexpected medical costs. She experienced recurrent nosebleeds for around 10 days, accompanied by high-grade fever, body aches, and lower abdominal pain, which led to her admission to Al-Manar Hospital, where she was diagnosed with epistaxis and viral fever. The family learned about Helpster Charity through a medical outreach camp organized in Geneva Camp and sought assistance to access the necessary treatment. Without appropriate medical evaluation and care, persistent nosebleeds could cause significant blood loss and anaemia, while complications from the underlying illness could further worsen her condition.

According to the treating doctors, hospitalization, intravenous (IV) fluids, nasal decongestants, antihistamines, paracetamol, montelukast, and other supportive treatments are intended to relieve symptoms and support recovery. With appropriate treatment and monitoring, the patient is expected to experience improvement in fever, body aches, and nasal symptoms. Without proper medical care, persistent nosebleeds may lead to significant blood loss and anaemia, while worsening symptoms may delay recovery. Close monitoring is important to identify ongoing bleeding or other complications and ensure appropriate management.
