Dengue, commonly prevalent during the monsoon season, poses a higher risk in areas with frequent waterlogging. The WHO outlines symptoms of the disease, including severe headache, high fever, muscle and joint pain, vomiting, nausea, rash, pain behind the eyes, and swollen glands. In severe cases, patients may experience bleeding, abdominal pain, weakness, fatigue, restlessness, and rapid breathing.

The WHO recommends preventive measures against dengue:

1. Keep window screens clean and closed.
2. Wear clothing that covers most body parts.
3. Use mosquito nets during the day and, if possible, at night.
4. Employ mosquito vaporisers, coils, or certified repellents during outdoor activities.

For those suffering from dengue, the WHO advises:

1. Rest adequately.
2. Stay hydrated by drinking sufficient fluids.
3. Avoid self-medication and consult a doctor for severe symptoms.
4. Watch out for signs such as bleeding, persistent vomiting, weakness, or rapid breathing.

In 2019, there were 5.2 million reported cases of dengue, according to the WHO. While many cases are manageable at home, severe instances may necessitate hospitalization. Following preventive measures remains crucial to maintaining health and well-being.
