These symptoms are often easily mistaken for ordinary fatigue and are therefore overlooked, leading to the disease becoming more severe and making treatment more difficult. Given the current widespread dengue fever outbreak, you should not take this lightly.
Level 2
Typical symptoms include: high fever, and the onset of subcutaneous bleeding, bleeding from mucous membranes, arms, legs, back, abdomen, neck, etc.

Bleeding symptoms are easier to recognize when they appear on the skin, but in more difficult areas like mucous membranes, the back, and the neck, they are harder to detect and are easily overlooked. What we need to do is take better care of ourselves, pay attention to our bodies, and understand them better to maintain our health.
Level 3
Typical symptoms: In addition to dengue fever, there are also signs of circulatory failure, hypotension, rapid pulse, cold skin, restlessness or agitation, shock, etc.

At this stage 3, the disease is beginning to progress to a severe phase, and if not treated quickly, the risk of shock and death is very high.
Level 4
Typical symptoms: The patient is in deep shock, with a weak and barely detectable pulse, unmeasurable blood pressure, cold extremities, and an extremely critical condition.

Level 4 is the most severe stage of the disease. At this point, the illness is very serious and life-threatening. Ideally, we should prevent the disease from progressing to this level.
