There are many tests to diagnose the disease, but no proper medicine to treat this infection. There are some tests which are used for diagnosis, depending upon the symptoms of the patient. Dengue infection also can be established by testing serum samples. At Medanta, the following tests are used to diagnose the disease:
The patients will be advised to drink adequate fluids (including oral rehydration solution and juices), and should urinate at least once in every 6 hours. If symptoms of dengue worsen, the patient should be brought to the hospital.
Patients are admitted to the hospital for close observation, especially pregnant women, children, the elderly, and those with obesity and diabetes. They remain under observation until the risk period is over.
If you live in an area in which dengue is known to occur, or you have visited any such place lately and you suddenly start to develop the symptoms of the disease such as high fever, vomiting, and headache, you are advised to see a doctor immediately.
