Dengue is a terrible disease. Please be very careful to cover your body with clothes and to wear bug repellent like OFF! with DEET on any exposed skin, so that the mosquitoes won't bite you. Also, use mosquito nets where you sleep, with mosquito repellent already on them.
Finding and getting rid of mosquito nests (anything with standing water in it() and getting everywhere sprayed with bug killers is important too, because the best way to fight dengue is to prevent it. Anyone who gets dengue needs lots of liquids to drink, and some aspirin to help control the fever. Try to stay as healthy as possible so that you can survive the fever if you should get it.
Good luck!

The best thing is prevention. People should not leave containers that could be filled by water from rain or any other source because that is where the mosquito (Aedes Aegypti) that transmits it reproduces. It is best to collect those containers and to clean them with some detergent since the eggs of the mosquito could adhere to the bowls, etc. Once someone has dengue, only the hospital can save him/her.

They are no vaccines for this decease, it starts like flu like symptoms and you continue to get worse. What I would suggest is that you get a lot of mosquito repellents. And not all Doctors know about it, if you feel feverish and flu like symptoms advise the Doctor what it could be. A friend of mine came from Puerto Rico where he caught this. So just be careful.
