10-year-old girl dies from dengue

Her father, Ravula Venkateshwarlu, explained that after his daughter suffered from a fever for a week, they initially sought care at a local hospital, administering medication at home. However, her condition worsened after four days. Following a local doctor's advice, he admitted her to a private hospital in Hanamkonda.

Doctors diagnosed her with dengue after conducting tests, but despite treatment, her blood platelet count dropped rapidly, leading to her death on Monday morning.
