Depending on the patient's condition, blood transfusion may be ordered by the doctor. Dengue needs hospitalization and intensive care. Recovery is possible. To cope with dengue, prevention of being bitten by a Aedes mosquito or any other infected mosquito is better than curing the disease. Guard against collection of stagnant water within the house.
Flower vases, plant plates, receptacles, rainwater and gully traps within bathrooms invite breeding.
For water receptacles, change the water daily. Outside the house, watch out for holes, accumulation of leaves, exposed rubbish and stagnant gully traps. These are sources of stagnant water for mosquito breeding. There are sprays and insecticides to kill mosquitoes and larvae. These are cheap preventive measures as compared to the high costs of hospitalization and danger to human lives.
