There is no specific antiviral treatment for dengue. Management primarily involves supportive care to alleviate symptoms. This includes maintaining adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration, using analgesics like acetaminophen for pain relief, and avoiding non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin, which can increase the risk of bleeding. In severe cases, hospitalization may be required for intravenous fluids and close monitoring.
