How to Treat Dengue Fever
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. There are no medications available that can provide a cure. Treatment addresses the symptoms. It also attempts to avoid potential complications. Possible treatments include:
Bedrest
You will need to get extra rest while you recover from your illness.
Adequate Hydration
You should drink a lot of beverages to help replace fluids, sugars, and salts lost during the illness. If you are unable to drink enough, you may need to receive IV fluids through a needle in your arm.
Medications to Decrease Fever and Pain
You may use acetaminophen (Tylenol) to treat fever and pain. Do not use aspirin because it may increase the risk of bleeding.
