  • The risk of dengue is increasing rapidly, with cases peaking in June

The risk of dengue is increasing rapidly in Nepal, with cases peaking in June, according to the Epidemiology and Disease Control Division. So far, 1,677 cases have been recorded over the past six months. Doctors warn that dengue poses greater risks to children, pregnant and lactating women, the elderly, and obese individuals, and advise immediate testing if symptoms like high fever, nausea, or muscle pain appear.

 A Consultant Physician notes that while most patients recover at home, severe cases may require urgent hospital care due to complications like bleeding, vomiting, and dehydration.
