The dengue nightmare has come to reality as 89 more people were tested dengue positive on Sunday, taking the number of confirmed cases in the province to 1,912.
It is reported that the number of victims has risen to as far as 70 in a single day for Lahore-based victims, out of 89 patients in Punjab during past 24 hours.
Punjab government has assured that it was taking all possible precautionary measures to stem the never-ending nightmare of dengue virus, while government has also appealed to masses to play its due part in awareness about the so far uncontrollable disease.
Meanwhile, the citizens have expressed their concern over the surge in dengue virus and treatment facilities at government-run hospitals across the province.
They urged the provincial government and health authorities for taking on ground steps to control the disease instead of making tall claims and issuing statements to satisfy the masses.
Dengue usually starts with fever within four to seven days of the mosquito bite. The patient would have flu-like high fever, accompanied by muscular and joint pains.
According to the doctors, it is easy to differentiate between viral fever and dengue. In viral infection, the patient would have running nose, throat pain, mild body ache and weakness. In dengue, the patient would have high-grade fever, severe body ache, joint pains and rashes, which may turn pink within 24 to 48 hours of contracting fever.
Instructions has been given to cover oneself with proper clothing and discourage breeding of Dengue within homes, since the forthcoming few cold days are conducive for the growth of this menace.
