Natural Therapy for Dengue Fever

The main objective of this review is about dengue fever, its symptoms, treatment and how it is cured by natural therapy. Dengue fever and its more serious forms, dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome, are becoming important public health problems and were formally included within the disease portfolio of the United Nations Development Programme(9). The acute phase of the illness with fever and myalgias lasts about one to two weeks. Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a specific syndrome that tends to affect children under 10 years of age. It causes abdominal pain, hemorrhage, and circulatory collapse. The prevention of dengue fever requires control or eradication of the mosquitoes carrying the virus that causes dengue. There is currently no vaccine available for dengue fever.
