The rainy season is the peak time for Aedes mosquitoes to breed, leading to a rapid risk of Dengue fever outbreaks.
The disease affects both adults and children and can progress to extremely dangerous severity if not detected in time.
3 signs that require immediate hospitalization:
- Sudden high fever (39-40°C), headache, pain behind the eyes, and body aches.
- Critical phase (Days 3–7): Despite the fever subsiding, symptoms include frequent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, cold and clammy limbs, and extreme lethargy.
- Hemorrhage: Nosebleeds, bleeding gums, vomiting blood, or black stools.
Vital notes:
- DO NOT self-purchase Aspirin / Ibuprofen to reduce fever.
- DO NOT self-administer intravenous fluids at home.
Prevention at home:
- Eliminate larvae: Clean up bottles, stagnant water, and tightly cover water storage tanks.
- Sleep under a mosquito net even during the day.
- Use mosquito repellent spray.
Actively listening to your body and closely monitoring every development from the first day of fever is the golden key to protecting the safety of yourself and your family.
