With the advent of monsoon season, the risk of contracting dengue increases. But the rainy season is also a precursor of stomach bugs due to microbial infection. Fever, nausea, stomach cramps, and diarrhea are telltale signs of stomach upset, but these could also be gastrointestinal manifestations of dengue. Although in dengue, people typically experience high fever along with severe stomach pain, vomiting, difficulty in breathing, and vomiting, to be sure, gastrointestinal discomfort shouldn't be ignored and addressed immediately.
Dengue cases have been on rise for the past many years. 100 million cases of dengue fever and half a million cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) occur worldwide.
