P.S.Things like the antisceptic spray sound a little overdoing it.If your kids never were exposed to any germs,they will never develop any antibodies for them.And do not spray in their eyes.

hi thanks for message, i not think my kids are somehow sterile, in germany my daughter went to waldkindergarten..something were kids only in forest if rain or snow or hot..never in house..the live in forest, so i thought lea (my daughter) has some power to stand illness, but maybe its aircon, we will try without in house, as well cause of PLN:)) We use antiseptic cause my wife from bogor and in her place not really tidy and many chicken runnning around and my daughter always play with chicken and my son alwqays finger in mouth, so of course i worry..but normally we seldom spray in their eyes hhih:))
we will see how things running, but of course dengue fever would be one of the things we not need..

Dengue fever usually lasts only 7 days (and in most cases is not life threatening). So it is not likely to be connected with these illnesses that have persisted over some months.

Of course, you could get it more than once, maybe up to 4 times, and the subsequent infections have a higher risk of complications. But I would have thought the probability that 2 kids have got multiple dengue infections is extremely low.
