Avoiding dengue by taking preventative steps
Use insect repellents and wear long sleeves to prevent mosquito bites.

Instead of self-medicating, consult a doctor.
Contact local field monitoring teams to obtain dengue spray.
Signs of dengue fever
In addition to directing medical facilities to set aside specific counters for dengue-related patients, the health authorities have recommended the public to adopt the appropriate safeguards.
The district government is using a number of strategies to try and manage the larvae.
If dengue fever is not treated, it can cause a platelet shortage and even turn fatal.
When symptoms appear, it’s critical to get medical help right once, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
