By Rey Anthony H. Chiu


TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, June 11 (PIA) -- Do not wait for the fever to go beyond a day. 

This sums up the advice from medical practitioners during the recent Kapihan sa PIA.
 

Assistant Provincial Health Officer Dr. Greg Sodusta urged relatives of people with high and persistent fever to immediately seek proper medical treatment and not wait for hemorrhaging to set in.
 

Almost always, hemorrhaging in dengue becomes fatal, according to medical experts.
