Dengue is a viral disease transmitted through mosquito bites. The illness can pose a serious health threat, making it essential to understand its symptoms, preventive measures, and treatment options.

Symptoms of Dengue

Symptoms of dengue fever usually appear 4-10 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito and may include:
  • Fever
    39-40°C, often accompanied by chills and feverishness.
  • Pain
    Severe muscle and joint pain, along with pain behind the eyes.
  • Nausea and vomiting
    Frequency depends on the severity of the infection.
  • Skin rash
    Sometimes appears as red spots or small dots on the skin.
In severe cases, dengue can lead to complications known as the hemorrhagic form, which requires immediate medical attention.

Treatment of Dengue Fever

If you experience symptoms, it is essential to see a doctor as soon as possible for an accurate diagnosis. HealthBali offers specialist consultations, hospitalization options, and supportive therapy if needed. Treatment generally focuses on symptom relief, hydration maintenance, and patient monitoring.

Useful Information
  • Dengue and the Common Cold
    Mild dengue can often be indistinguishable from the common cold, and some people who have had dengue fever may not even realize they encountered this illness. However, this does not mean that dengue — like the common cold — is without risks.

    Symptoms of dengue fever appear suddenly and may include high fever, sweating, nausea, dizziness, headache, muscle and joint pain, and general weakness. Some individuals may develop a fine rash, initially on the backs of the hands and feet, then spreading to the torso.

    Most individuals recover a few days after the onset of symptoms. However, in severe cases, a sudden drop in blood pressure may occur, requiring urgent medical attention.
  • What to do in case of Dengue Fever
    Dengue fever is one of those illnesses where early diagnosis and seeking medical care are crucial.

    What else is important:
    • Stay Hydrated: Increase your fluid intake to prevent dehydration. Drink plenty of water, low-fat broths, electrolytes, and other fluids.
    • Pain and Fever Management: To relieve pain and reduce fever, you may take pain relievers, but always follow the instructions and recommendations of your doctor or pharmacist. Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, diclofenac, or similar medications, as they can increase the risk of bleeding in dengue cases.
    • Rest and Recovery: Rest during the illness to give your body the chance to recover. Follow your doctor’s advice and stick to a calm routine.
    • Monitor Your Symptoms: Keep track of your condition and seek medical attention if new or worsening symptoms appear. Remember, only a healthcare professional can properly assess your condition and recommend further action.
