Dengue fever has no specialized therapy. Patients should relax, drink lots of water, and seek medical attention. Patients may be sent home, referred for in-hospital management, or require emergency treatment and urgent care depending on the clinical symptoms and other factors.
- To lower temperature and ease pain, use acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol)
- Take no aspirin or ibuprofen!
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Drink water or electrolyte-fortified beverages.
- Care for a sick infant, child, or family member at home if the symptoms are mild.
