Dengue fever can be fatal if untreated and undetected. Dengue can be acquired from a bite of mosquito called Aedes aegypti. These mosquitoes live in the tropics and breeds in stagnant waters in cans, vases, old tires and others that will hold enough water.
Symptoms of Dengue are following :
- Fever which may last 2 to 7 days
- Joints and muscle pains including at the back of the eyes
- Skin Rashes
- Nose Bleeding
- Abdominal Pains
- Vomiting
As of now, no vaccine is available for this disease. As the saying goes, Prevention is better than cure. It is better to prevent the growth of these mosquitoes. So clean all your water containers once a week. Replace water in vases, cover your water containers and make sure you dispose it after a week so mosquitoes cannot breed on them.
If a member of your family has dengue, you need to send them to the nearest hospital, if remains untreated, virus will start to infect/reduce the host's blood platelet count that will lead to death.
Increasing the patient's blood platelet count will eventually help him recover. Blood transfusion can be administered. As herbal remedy, eating Durian will help increase the platelet count. Tawa-tawa weed (Scientific Name : Euphorbia capitata Lam. , Philippines
