When Should You Go To A Doctor?
Fever of any kind should never be ignored. If there is dengue in your neighborhood, consult a qualified doctor immediately. The doctor will recommend a platelet or hematocrit test to diagnose whether you have the infection. Usually, you will be put on a painkiller even before the results come as your excruciating joint pain will be used as a basis of diagnosis.
Remember, you should never take aspirin or brufen when you have dengue, as it increases the chances of hemorrhage and also reduces the platelet count.
