Intense Abdominal Pain
While aches and pains are a common symptom in mild dengue, intense belly pain may be a sign of the more dangerous form of the disease. A tender, swollen stomach may indicate the person needs to get further help.5‘Dengue Fever - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf.’ National Center for Biotechnology Information, 24 Apr. 2020, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK430732/
While no cure is available for dengue, early treatment of symptoms may help a person recover more easily. A person hospitalized with severe dengue can be monitored by doctors, receive fluids to stay hydrated and take medicines to manage bleeding and pain.4‘Dengue Fever | Florida Department of Health.’ Florida Department of Health, www.floridahealth.gov/diseases-and-conditions/dengue/index.html
