There's an outbreak of DENGUE FEVER here in the Philippines right now. Every hospital is full of patients, may it be public or private hospitals, they all look like government hospitals--- unending lines, jampacked OPDs and ERs because of thousand cases of dengue fever. Many patients recovered but there are some who died. Dengue is not just a mere fever, it's deadly and can take the lives of your love one's if you take the fever for granted.
But what is Dengue Fever?
How would I know if someone I know is suffering from such?
What should I do to avoidit?
Dengue Fever is a disease transmitted by mosquitoes. The person bitten by mosquito most likely will have or will feel headache, fever, exhaustion, severe muscle and joint pains, swollen glands and rashes, gums may also bleed, eyes may suffer from pain, palms and soles may be so red.

We all know that cleaning our surroundings would help alleviate the mosquitoes in our houses as well communities but we really can't deny the fact that the earth that we live is no longer clean as it was a number of decades before. So the best ways to stay away from the deadly dengue are the following: (These are actual suggestions of the Doctor I sought today for my check-up)
1.)Drink 3 liters of water. 8 glasses is not enough.Again, 3LITERS.
2.) Drink Vitamin C. Strengthen your resistance and Immunity from diseases.
3.) Eat proper diet. Avoid fatty foods.
4.) Sleep early.
There, so I'm bidding tata now. I have to sleep early, I should be following the doctor's advice.
