What Is Dengue Fever?
10. Treatment For Severe Cases
Treating severe cases is not as simple as asking the patient to get rest. In severe cases of dengue fever, the patient will need to be admitted into a hospital where they can get all the care that they need and be monitored closely. They will also need to be put on an intravenous drip.
Their blood pressure will also need to be monitored closely and they may need a blood transfusion if they are losing too much blood. The patient will need intensive care until, hopefully, their immune system will allow them to recover. Severe cases of dengue fever will be fatal in some cases.
