   What is the treatment for dengue fever? ---

Because dengue fever is  caused by a virus, there is no specific medicine or  antibiotic to treat it. For typical dengue, the treatment is  purely concerned with relief of the symptoms  (symptomatic). Rest and fluid intake for adequate  hydration is important. Aspirin and nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs should only be taken under a doctor's   supervision because of the possibility of worsening     hemorrhagic complications. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and   codeine may be given for severe headache and for the joint   and muscle pain (myalgia).
