In tropical countries like India, epidemics are common. The hot and cold climates of our country allow for a perfect breeding ground for disease-carrying insects.

From time immemorial, all tropical countries have had to fight a constant battle against vector carriers like mosquitoes. Scientists are constantly trying to find solutions to this ever growing problem. But as the medical field is advancing, so is the immunity of these pesky insects.

Mosquitoes are a growing problem in every tropical country as the weather conditions of the place are perfect breeding spots for them. Also, the virus which causes the illnesses, grows in damp places while receiving sufficient sunlight.

One such disease which is becoming more common in our country is dengue. Dengue is a tropical disease which is spread through mosquitoes which carry the dengue virus. Mosquitoes breed in places with stagnant water.

The common symptoms of dengue include fever, joint pain and head ache. It can affect any age group. The vaccines against this disease are still in the testing stage and hence there are no proper medications available for this disease as of now.

Since it is spread through mosquitoes, the only way to prevent it is by keeping our surroundings clean and clearing any site with stagnant water. Also, garbage should not openly be dumped as this can also cause the breeding of mosquitoes.

Usually, doctors advise complete rest and intake of lots of fluids if affected with dengue fever as the fever can cause dehydration and also reduce platelet count. Therefore, people resort to some natural remedies to combat the illness.
