Self medication is not the answer- GHS warns as dengue fever cases rise to 36

The symptoms of dengue fever can include a sudden high fever, severe headaches, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and skin rash.

However, the GHS is urging the public to be vigilant and to seek medical attention if they exhibit any symptoms of dengue fever, rather than resorting to over-the-counter medications, which some people are inclined to do.

They are encouraging people to visit healthcare facilities promptly if they suspect they have contracted dengue fever, instead of self-medicating, which can lead to mismanagement of the disease.

The collaboration with local authorities and stakeholders is expected to enhance the effectiveness of the response and help mitigate the impact of the dengue fever outbreak in the affected regions..
