Dengue is a common disease, which is easily preventable, but in the absence of information thousands of people fall into it every year. For this reason, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India decided to celebrate on 16th May as National Dengue Day. Its aim is to spread awareness among people about dengue and to take initiatives to prevent dengue. Dengue is a viral disease that spreads through mosquito bites. Normal fever of dengue can be treated slightly and treated with caution, but sometimes the fever of dengue reaches dangerous levels. Dengue HammerHive Fever and Dengue Shock Syndrome are considered as severe or dengue. If this type of dengue is not treated at the right time, then the patient’s life can go.
Severe dengue can occur both in children and older adults, but generally it is more prone to risk. Severe dengue patients can be saved by the right treatment at the right time.
