    With the many cases of Dengue reported daily, I am too much concerned about the kids as they have a weak immune system and so have more chances of having dengue. Mosquitoes can be found everywhere so we must prevent breeding places of mosquitoes. We must not let water to stagnate and ensure cleanliness all around us. The best way to prevent dengue is preventing breeding places of mosquitoes. I also ensure that my kids dab on mosquito repellent cream on their bodies as one can never be sure of mosquitoes. This is the safest way to keep children protected.

    you are right Priyanka, dengue can be prevented by maintaining hygienic surroundings as this will prevent breeding of mosquitoes. We should teach our kids to maintain hygiene. If the immunity of kids is increased through immunity boosting foods then also dengue can be prevented. Kids should always be given healthy and nutritious foods and foods which are high in oxidants as these help in boosting immunity.

    Dark coloured foods such as strawberries, green vegetables and fish boost the immunity thereby preventing infections. At home, mosquito nets effectively keep mosquitoes away and they are safe also as compared to mosquito coils and mats. Mosquito repellent creams is also a good idea. We must take care of our kids while playing as then there are more chances of mosquito bites especially in the evening. With these small steps we surely will be able to prevent dengue.

    Hello. Dengue can occur in a child for a variety of reasons, but mosquitoes are one of the main and most common factors. They are the causative agents of Dengue in children. Adults tolerate Dengue without any problems and often you won't even notice any symptoms, but unlike adults, children are at risk and if your child gets Dengue, it can lead to dire consequences. To prevent this from happening, you should consider buying such a mosquito trap https://envirobug.com.au/collections/mozzie-traps
    With this thing you will forever forget about what mosquitoes are and be sure that your child will not get Dengue and will always be safe.
