Srinagar, May 20 -- Srinagar- Government Medical College (GMC) Jammu has issued a detailed public advisory on dengue management, urging people to remain vigilant against the mosquito-borne disease and seek immediate medical attention in case of worsening symptoms. The hospital has warned that reinfection with another strain of the virus can significantly increase the risk of severe complications, including internal bleeding and organ damage.
