In weather like this, dengue fever is a concern. Did you know that dengue fever can strike twice, and the second time can be more dangerous than the first?
Generally, we can get infected with dengue fever more than once because there are four serotypes. When we get infected for the first time, our body remembers it. When a second infection occurs, our body produces antibodies to fight the first strain. However, since the antibodies produced are specific to the first strain and may not work effectively against the second strain, it can lead to more severe symptoms during the second infection.
Key symptoms to watch for dengue fever:
- High fever lasting several days that doesn’t respond to medication
- Severe body aches and headaches
- Some individuals may experience nausea and vomiting
- Reduced appetite
If your condition doesn’t improve within 2-3 days, it’s crucial to see a doctor for a dengue fever test.
But you can also protect yourself with the new type dengue fever vaccine, which covers all four serotypes. It’s a two-shot vaccination package currently on promotion for 4,800 Baht.
