Dengue fever can take place second time. Only haemorragic Dengue is fatal that means when platelets go below 30000 and bleeding occurs inside. Even those cases recover with treatment. So best is prevention. Means proper hydration of self and preventing day time mosquito bite and preventing mosquito breeding. Cleaning the sorrounding from potential mosquito breeds

It's not necessary that dengue fever second time is fatal. Dengue is preventable. Take few precautions such as not having mosquito breeding ground anywhere around the house. Try to cover yourself and your children as much as possible when going out in the evening. Confirmatory test are PCR and NS1 antigen detection.
