How is dengue treated, and can it be cured completely?
1 week ago
When someone in the family gets dengue, it creates a lot of panic because we often hear about serious complications.I wanted to understand how is dengue actually treated? Is there a specific medicine that cures it, or is it more about managing symptoms? Also, can a person recover completely without long-term issues?

There is no specific antiviral medicine to cure dengue, but it is usually managed with supportive care.
Treatment includes maintaining proper hydration (fluids), controlling fever with prescribed medications (like paracetamol), and monitoring platelet count. Most people recover completely with proper care and rest.
Avoid self-medication, especially painkillers like ibuprofen, as they can increase bleeding risk. Regular monitoring and timely medical guidance are essential for safe recovery.
