Diagnosed with Dengue? Immediate Hospitalization Not Always Needed!

Diagnosed with dengue? Immediate hospitalization is not always necessary.

Here’s what you should do:

• If you have a fever → Focus on hydration and controlling the fever. • Once the fever subsides → Monitor closely for the next 48 hours. • If you experience vomiting, fatigue, confusion, or bleeding → Seek urgent medical attention. • If platelets are low but there are no symptoms → Careful observation is needed.

Remember, the patient is more important than the test results – a doctor’s understanding and careful observation are crucial.
