From real experience

In tourist areas, hotels implement mosquito control, and villa owners are mandated to maintain clean gardens to prevent breeding sites. Travelers should take precautions: use mosquito repellent, burn mosquito coils outdoors, and keep windows/doors closed after 4 PM. If flu-like symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately for testing and avoid self-medicating with ibuprofen or similar NSAIDs, as they can exacerbate the condition. Recommended home treatment involves local paracetamol, intravenous fluids if severe, and high fluid intake (100 ml per hour, except at night).
