Una, June 26- Many diseases spread during the rainy season. Generally, the number of patients suffering from high fever increases during the rainy season. That is why people should be cautious about diseases occurring during the rainy season. One disease that spreads during this season is dengue. Dengue is the name of a disease caused by a virus which is caused by the bite of a mosquito called Aedes.
When this mosquito bites, the virus rapidly shows its effect on the patient's body. Due to which symptoms like high fever and headache start appearing. It is also called bone breaking fever or break bone fever. When dengue occurs, the number of platelets in the patient's blood decreases rapidly, due to which sometimes there is a risk to life. Dengue does not spread from one person to another. It occurs only due to mosquito bites. This disease grows rapidly during the summer and rainy season. Dengue mosquitoes always bite during the day.
Chief Medical Officer Una Dr. Sanjeev Verma says that if a person has severe cold and fever, back, muscle, joint and head pain, mild cough, throat pain and soreness, red rashes on the body, tiredness, loss of appetite and weakness, vomiting and diarrhea, then these can be the symptoms of dengue.
