Dress Kids for Defense<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dengue mosquitoes are active during the day. Keep your child protected with long-sleeved shirts, full pants, and socks. Opt for light-colored clothing, as mosquitoes are more attracted to darker shades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Child-Safe Mosquito Repellents<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When children are playing outdoors or attending school, apply pediatric-safe mosquito repellents. Look for products containing DEET, picaridin, or natural oils like citronella, and always follow age-appropriate usage guidelines to ensure their safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep the Home Mosquito-Free<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mosquitoes breed in\u2002standing water. Empty and scrub out\u2002water coolers, flower pots, pet dishes, and buckets regularly. Fit doors with screens to keep them\u2002out. You should check your surroundings once a week to eliminate breeding sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daytime Protection is Essential<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike malaria mosquitoes, dengue mosquitoes are active and bite during the day. Shield your child with protective measures such as mosquito nets during daytime naps or school hours, and apply safe mosquito repellents on exposed skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay Alert for Dengue Symptoms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Watch for warning signs such as high fever, severe headache, joint and muscle pain, rash, and pain behind the eyes. If your child shows any of these symptoms, seek emergency care immediately. Avoid giving aspirin or ibuprofen unless advised by a doctor, as they may increase the risk of bleeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
