A. Yes, infants and young children can get dengue fever. If your infant has any dengue like symptoms (fever, faint rash, vomiting, diarrhoea) they need to be taken to a doctor immediately. Protect your children from getting bitten by mosquitoes by applying insect repellent as per directions on the container and by wearing light coloured clothing to protect their arms and legs.
