It's the rainy season here in the Philippines, and together with rains and stock piles of water are dengue -carrying mosquitos as well. 4 o'clock Habit

Are there cases of dengue fever in your community? Mommies, it's still rainy season in the country and we usually see an increase of dengue cases. I can still remember the scenario in the emergency room every time a patient comes in with complaints of fever. We were hoping it's just an ordinary fever because we are not familiar with other signs and symptoms of Dengue. Posted on Instagram  (@LivingMarjorney) A couple of weeks ago, I attended a campaign against Dengue Fever. The event was graced by Dr. Sally Gatchalian , Secretary Philippine Pediatric Society;  Jeffrey Yulo , GM GSK Consumer and celebrity mommy Suzi Entrata .

  Few months ago my cousin had high fever and body malaise so brought her to the nearest hospital for medical intervention. Series of lab works done and found it was Dengue Fever . Our family worried a lot when she started with her lost of appetite. Of course, they immediately administered IV fluids and started the medication.

I have not had dengue or any close relatives who had dengue, so far. I just hear about dengue outbreaks from the news or a friend's friend having dengue.
