Treatment
Dengue
It is a viral infection that spreads through mosquito bites and is characterized by symptoms like headache, body pain, nausea and rashes. It has been estimated that about 1 out of 20 people who are infected, is likely to develop a serious infection, which elevates the risks of internal bleeding or shock, and may even prove to be life-threatening.
Diabetes
The condition is marked by an abnormal increase in the blood sugar levels of the patient which is either due to the inability of the body to produce enough insulin or effectively use the insulin that has been produced. A diabetic person is likely to experience 3 major symptoms - polydipsia, marked by excess thirst, polyuria, marked by frequent urination and polyphagia, characterized by uncontrollable hunger
Hypertension
The condition is marked by an increase in the force of blood against the arteries. When this happens for a long period of time, it is likely to damage the arteries and put you at a higher risk of developing various heart diseases. It is characterized by symptoms like headaches, nosebleeds, arrhythmia and vision change.
