The incubation period of dengue fever is usually 10-14 days. After being infected with dengue virus, patients generally do not immediately show symptoms, but will only show symptoms after a period of time.
1. Fever: Most patients will have symptoms of sudden fever, with body temperature up to over 39°C, accompanied by chills, headache, and other symptoms. Some patients may also experience muscle soreness, fatigue, and other symptoms.
2. Rash: As the disease progresses, patients may develop rash symptoms, which are mostly pale red maculopapular rash or measles-like rash, often distributed on the trunk and limbs.
3. Lymphadenopathy: Some patients may also experience lymphadenopathy symptoms, usually located in the neck, axillary, and inguinal areas.
Patients may also experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, joint pain, etc. If the condition is severe, complications such as shock and bleeding tendency may also occur.
Currently, there is no specific drug for the treatment of dengue fever. Clinical treatment is mainly symptomatic and supportive. If high fever occurs, antipyretic drugs such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules and acetaminophen tablets can be used under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, antiviral drugs such as ribavirin granules and acyclovir tablets can also be used under the guidance of a doctor.
It is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly and undergo standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
