What is cause of dengue?

Since the monsoon started, there's a lot of talk about dengue cases in our area. My son has been running a fever, and I'm worried. I want to be informed about how it spreads. What is the cause of dengue?

Simple baat hai, dengue is caused by the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito. Clean up any standing water around your house immediately, prevention is everything here.

When my son got dengue, we panicked because his platelets dropped. But doctors reassured us that with proper rest and hydration, most cases recover perfectly fine at home.

Is anyone else terrified of the monsoon season because of dengue? I keep getting anxious about every little mosquito bite and keep checking my temperature.

I got dengue last monsoon and it was brutal. It spreads through mosquito bites, so buy a good repellent and don't let water collect in your plant pots.

While dengue is caused by a virus transmitted by mosquitoes, maintaining a strong immune system with fresh fruits and lots of fluids like coconut water helps during recovery.

Please don't rely on papaya leaf juice or random internet remedies if you suspect dengue. Get a proper blood test done and consult a doctor immediately for correct management.
