You should know these things about dengue

Dengue is a viral disease that is spread by the Aedes mosquito and is common in tropical and subtropical regions such as Southeast Asia, Central and South America, and Africa. Symptoms of dengue fever include high fever, severe headache, joint and muscle pain, rash, and vomiting. In severe cases, dengue can lead to life-threatening complications such as dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome.

While there is no specific cure for dengue, treatment focuses on managing symptoms and preventing complications. Measures to prevent dengue include eliminating mosquito breeding sites, wearing protective clothing, using mosquito repellents, and avoiding outdoor activities during peak mosquito hours.

If you experience symptoms of dengue, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, especially if you have recently traveled to or live in an area where the disease is prevalent. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes and reduce the risk of severe complications.
