DENGUE FEVER: A NAME WITH FEAR

Dengue fever is a disease spread by mosquito biting. The symptoms starts beginning after 3-4 days from when one got infected to the virus. The symptoms of Dengue infections may include mild to high fever in the beginning, headache, vomit kind of feeling and sometime vomiting, pain in the muscles. A patient can get recovered from dengue between 3-7 days depending upon his/her immune system.

But there are few symptoms when one needs hospitalization to fight with Dengue. Incase a person notice high fever, running nose, cold and cough with skin rashes, decrease in pulse rate, the patient must be rushed to the nearest hospital as these are serious symptoms.
