Symptoms of Dengue Fever

Dengue fever is a viral infection that is transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes. The symptoms of dengue fever usually appear 4-10 days after the mosquito bite. These symptoms can include:

• High fever
• Severe headache
• Body ache
• Nausea and vomiting
• Skin rash
• Bleeding from the nose, gums, or skin

In severe cases, dengue fever can lead to complications such as dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome. These complications can be fatal if not treated promptly.

Prevention of Dengue Fever

There is no specific vaccine available to prevent dengue fever. However, there are several steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of infection, including:

• Using mosquito repellent
• Wearing long-sleeved clothing and pants
• Staying indoors during peak mosquito hours
• Eliminating mosquito breeding sites

If you develop any symptoms of dengue fever, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
