Dengue is on rise ...know the Symptoms and contact doctor if you have any...

Symptoms:

•Fever, with a sudden onset, often rising to 40-40.5 degrees centigrade.

•Rash, which shows up 3-4 days after the start of the symptoms, starting from the trunk region and spreading to the face, arms and legs.

•Muscle aches (myalgia)

•Joint aches (arthralgia).

•Headache.

As Prevention is better than Cure

Prevention:

Personal protection against mosquito bites should be done by using mosquito repellents, netting and wearing clothes that cover the body while going out. Rooms should be properly screened with gauze/screen/wire-mesh. Care should be taken to see that there are no stagnating water bodies around the living areas and the surroundings are kept clean.

Yes maybe other countries are handling it well in before but in India it is not possible which is main reason for increase in cases..

Important facts about Dengue
1. Dengu mosquito can fly only upto 2-3 feet in height. So the lower half portion of legs is the most vulnerable part of the body for dengu.
2. Dengu mosquito bites only in day time.
3. Fever (of high magnitude with bodyache) comes generally after 6-8 days of mosquito bite. Platelates count test (platelates count decreases sharply and count of 50,000 or less is fatal) and some other dengu test are useful (dengu IGG and dengu IGM viruses).
4. One can find this mosquito in cooler's water container (please change the water daily) or other humid places (use some bacteria killer liquids or spray) in house.

I think it's due to our callousness that some of the diseases like malaria and dengue which we so effectively eradicated decades before are back with a vengeance!
