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.
