In ancient times, medical practitioners used different plants and herbs to cure different kinds of sickness. There are also some documented events that monkey meat is used to stimulate guys to be more active in their sex life. There are so many types of herbal medications that were used before that are now obsolete in this generation.
Dengue Fever is one of the deadly fever attacks that can kill, usually children, in days. In third world countries, dengue fever is very rampant and causing an alarming issue that needs to be eradicated immediately. Mosquitoes are the carrier of dengue.
This infectious disease is manifested by a sudden onset of fever, with severe headache, muscle and joint pains (myalgias and arthralgias—severe pain gives it the name break-bone fever or bonecrusher disease) and rashes. The dengue rash is characteristically bright red petechiae and usually appears first on the lower limbs and the chest; in some patients, it spreads to cover most of the body. There may also be gastritis with some combination of associated abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.
Other symptoms include
* fever;
* chills;
* constant headaches;
* bleeding from nose, mouth or gums;
* severe dizziness; and,
* loss of appetite.
Some cases develop much milder symptoms which can, when no rash is present, be misdiagnosed as influenza or other viral infection. Thus travelers from tropical areas may inadvertently pass on dengue in their home countries, having not been properly diagnosed at the height of their illness. Patients with dengue can pass on the infection only through mosquitoes or blood products and only while they are still febrile.
The classic dengue fever lasts about six to seven days, with a smaller peak of fever at the trailing end of the disease (the so-called "biphasic pattern"). Clinically, the platelet count will drop until the patient's temperature is normal.
Cases of DHF also show higher fever, haemorrhagic phenomena, thrombocytopenia, and haemoconcentration. A small proportion of cases lead to dengue shock syndrome (DSS) which has a high mortality rate.
There are no vaccines for dengue and best way to stop this is by cleaning our surroundings.
