New Delhi, 16 May (IANS). During summer and rainy season, the terror of mosquitoes is seen in every house, every street. During this time there is a risk of spreading many dangerous diseases. One of them is dengue. It is a deadly viral infection that spreads through Aedes mosquito bites. High fever, headache, joint pain, skin rashes and weakness are its main symptoms. If not treated on time, it can reduce the number of platelets and make the condition serious. National Dengue Day is celebrated every year on 16 May, so that people can be made aware of this disease.
The central and state governments are also taking tough measures in this episode. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in his X post appealed to follow the rules of cleanliness to avoid dengue.
UP CM wrote in his X post- “Dengue is a serious disease but it can be avoided by following the rules of cleanliness. Let us all together on this ‘National Dengue Day’ that we will all resolve that we will create a conscious society by adopting a clean environment and alert lifestyle and will create a conscious society and beat the diseases like dengue.”
The day of ‘National Dengue Day’ reminds us of being cautious, because prevention is better than treatment. According to the Cleveland Clinic, about 400 million people suffer from dengue every year. However, in most cases, symptoms do not appear. Therefore, it is important that the correct treatment is adopted in time. It is very important to not allow water to accumulate around the house, wear full -sleeved clothes and use mosquito nets. Dengue mosquito thrives in clean water, such as cooler, vase, tank, or any open pot which accumulates water.
Dengue mosquito is black in color and has white stripes on his body. Four to seven days after mosquito bite, symptoms of dengue appear. Sometimes the number of platelets is very reduced, which can cause bleeding. This condition can be serious and if not getting treatment on time, it can also become fatal.
If someone gets dengue, then he should keep giving maximum water, lemonade, coconut water, juice, soup and liquid things. Paracetamol can be given with the advice of a doctor, which provides relief in fever and pain. Do use mosquito nets. People take some home remedies such as papaya leaf juice or Giloy decoction, although evidence has not been found for it is completely effective. Be sure to consult a doctor before taking them.
Dengue patients should not take medicines without doctor’s advice and avoid eating fried and roasted.
