Patients increased rapidly in Delhi-NCR also

Dengue reports are coming positive in most of the patients coming to OPD with the complaint of fever. Surprisingly, it has also been seen in many patients that after the symptoms, the first report was negative, while the next report was positive.

Cases of deaths are also increasing

Identify the symptoms of dengue
Doctor Shrey says, most of the dengue patients are suffering from high fever along with pain in body joints, flatulence, and loose motion. In many patients, platelet counts have been seen to drop rapidly, leading to hemorrhagic fever and the need for emergency medical attention. Considering the danger and severity of the disease, there is a need to take special care regarding preventive measures.
It is very important to keep protecting against dengue
Health experts say it is important for everyone to keep protecting themselves from dengue disease. Due to the way it has rained again in the past few days, the risk of water logging and the increase of mosquitoes may increase again, which may increase the infection of dengue. Dengue mosquitoes bite more during day time, so to protect yourself from this, wear full-sleeve clothes. Maintain cleanliness around the house, do not allow waterlogging at any place. To stay safe from dengue, it is very important to keep taking preventive measures.
