Dream - Cases of dengue fever that affect middle children have increased dramatically. In some cases, children who experience dengue fever have to be closely monitored in the hospital.

"Because, it is feared that it will pass through a critical phase that could endanger his life and experience bleeding.\u00a0In some children, dengue fever can recover quickly, but there are also those that can be fatal."

"The rainy season still has many children being treated for dengue fever (DB). After being treated, the hospital usually provides a post-treatment letter for DB. Later, this letter will be given to Mr. RT (neighborhood association) for submission to the health center so that the area can be fogged," said Dr. Citra.

"It is advisable to be carried out within a radius of 200 meters, and done in two cycles with an interval of approximately 1 week," said Dr. Citra in her Instagram @citra_amelinda."

To achieve effective results, it is recommended to conduct fogging in the morning from 07:00 to 10:00 and in the afternoon from 15:00 to 17:00. If done during the day, mosquitoes are not active and the smoke easily evaporates due to the hot daytime air.

Another important thing besides fogging is to do the 3 M's, which are draining, covering, and burying. Drain various water containers as they can become breeding grounds for mosquito larvae.

"Also close water storage containers to prevent the breeding of dengue mosquitoes. Finally, bury any discarded items that have the potential to become mosquito breeding grounds, or if not possible, dispose of them immediately."
