Treatment of Dengue:
There is no specific medicine or exact treatment available for dengue. The doctor may prescribe painkillers such as paracetamol to take to control the fever and pain. Keeping the body hydrated is one of the most important ways to keep dengue under control. In this case, clean water should be drunk in sufficient quantity. However, patients with severe symptoms require hospitalization. In severe cases, intravenous fluids or electrolyte supplements are given to the patient. In some cases, it is also treated through blood pressure monitoring and blood transfusion. Do not forget to self-administer drugs such as aspirin or ibuprofen, as they can increase the risk of bleeding.
