dengue symptoms
Dengue fever is actually a viral infection that is spread through the bite of an infected mosquito. Coming to the symptoms of dengue fever, its symptoms start appearing on the patient’s body within four to five days after the bite of the infected mosquito. First, the patient has a fever. After that, headaches, body aches, vomiting, nausea and muscle pain begin to appear. Rashes begin to appear on the patient’s body. When there is a high fever, any type of injury or scratch will cause rapid bleeding. In the dangerous condition of dengue, there is a deficiency of platelets in the body, which can prove fatal.
How to prevent dengue fever?
To prevent dengue fever, you should not let water accumulate around your house. To prevent mosquitoes from breeding during the monsoon, you must avoid stagnant water anywhere in the house. Water should be removed from coolers, pans, tires and other areas where water has accumulated. If water must be conserved, it must be changed every day. Pesticides should be spread on the balcony, yard and garden of the house as well as in the surrounding sewers.
Wear long-sleeved clothing and loose-fitting pants, etc. when you leave the house. By placing mosquito nets on windows and doors, mosquitoes will not be able to enter the house. Use a mosquito net while sleeping at night and if necessary, use mosquito repellent. Before sending children out to play, have them wear covering clothing and apply mosquito repellent cream.
