If this is the case, see a doctor immediately.

Also important and basic is the prevention and control of mosquitoes. Therefore, do not leave containers in which water can accumulate in the open such as cans, buckets, plants, pots, tires, open water tanks, and so on. Likewise, keep backyards, patios, gardens, and other places clean. Another effective method is to use repellents during the day – when mosquitoes are most active – they provide some protection from bites and insecticides can also be applied, following the directions on the label. Mosquito nets provide good protection for those who sleep during the day, such as children and those who are bedridden.
