Treatment
Currently, there is no antiviral drug that treats Dengue Fever. Just like many other illnesses, you just need to wait for it to pass. However, there is treatment for the various effects that come with Dengue Fever and to prevent DHF and DSS from occurring. The sooner the virus is found, the less suffering for the patient. Doctors monitor the platelet count consistently, so that fluid replacement therapy and platelet transfusion is possible if it is needed. (Davis, Sierra.)
People who think they have Dengue should go to the Emergency Department of the nearest hospital immediately, as earlier detection means higher chances of possibly saving your life. If the doctors suspect that the patient has DHF, the patient would be admitted to the hospital, and the blood pressure and blood count would be closely monitored. Patients should also rest, consume pain relievers, and drink plenty of fluids. Especially in a country where the body releases fluids easily.(Davis, Sierra.)
