The Dhaka Times Desk Mobile phones have become an integral part of our lives these days. From talking to important office work is now done on mobile phones. How many times a day do you actually check your mobile phone?
But have you ever wondered what? On average, how many times a person checks his mobile phone every day? The use of mobile phones from waking up to going to sleep is increasing day by day. Whether there is any work or not, we sit with mobile phones. After hours, we have no grudges about the matter. When you hear the counting of hours while using the phone, your eyes will go up to your forehead. If this number is not reduced quickly, medical scientists fear that it may cause major damage to the body and mind.
An average person checks their phone about 58 times a day. It varies depending on the individual and their habits when it comes to app usage. Research shows that people spend more time on mobile using apps when they are at home than when they are out.
A study by technology solutions company Asurion says that an average person checks their phone 96 times a day. Another study found that people check their phones an average of 47 times a day.
In terms of app usage, a study by Flurry Analytics found that people in the US spend an average of 5 hours per day on mobile devices.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
