Did you know that Dengue Fever have no cure?

Dengue Fever Symptoms:

Fluctuating fever ( the fever comes and goes)
Vomitting
Nausea
Headache
Fatigue
Red Spots


(If you have any 3/5 symptoms, better go to a doctor for a check-up)

When you have red spots on your body,
then it's time to go to a hospital !

Dengue Fever kills by lowering the patient's blood viscosity, making the blood 'watery' (Red Spots),
if it is not treated immediately, it might triggers Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever.
