How do I manage the symptoms of dengue fever?

Managing your symptoms is the only way to treat dengue fever. Follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations, which may include:

  • Keeping yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water and fluids.
  • Getting as much rest as possible.
  • Treating pain with acetaminophen (like Tylenol®) only.
  • Do not take ibuprofen (like Advil®) or aspirin. This can increase your risk of life-threatening internal bleeding.
