• Vomiting
• Pain in the eyes
• Toothache
• Sudden Fever

• Internal bleeding
• Nausea

DIAGNOSIS

Dandy fever can be hard to diagnose because its symptoms are similar to other diseases, such as Malaria, Chikungunya, Typhoid fever, and Zika Virus.

To diagnose dengue fever, the doctor will take a blood test sample to see if you have a virus infection. Also, they will undoubtedly ask you about your health condition and your travel history, and if you noticed that a mosquito has bitten you.

TREATMENT

There is currently no particular therapy for dandy fever in existence. However, there are medications to alleviate your fever and muscle pain, such as Acetaminophen. Also, if you feel dehydrated while recuperating from dengue fever, you should drink lots of water and take a rest.

Aside from medication, blood transfusion is also a treatment for this disease. This is a standard medical procedure in which the blood is injected via a narrow duct inserted into a vein in an arm. This can also assist in the replacement of blood lost during multiple surgeries.
