"How many days does dengue fever go away?" or “what is a sign of getting rid of dengue fever?” These are the questions that many people are interested in today. This issue will be shared by Master, Doctor Tran Thi Phuong Thuy - Head of Infectious Diseases Department - Vinmec Times City International Hospital.
According to Master, Doctor Tran Thi Phuong Thuy - Head of the Department of Infectious Diseases - Vinmec Times City General Hospital, the average duration of dengue fever is about 7 days. However, there are also cases of dengue fever lasting up to 10 days or patients showing signs of getting rid of dengue fever after only a few days. The incubation period for dengue fever can be several days or two weeks. During this stage, the patient will not show any signs of illness.
On the issue of "how long does it take for dengue fever to heal?", Doctor Thuy said that usually, the patient's fever will be gone after about 3-4 days. At this time, platelets will continue to decrease, so the patient will still feel tired and lose appetite. In the recovery phase, after about 6-7 days, the patient will want to get up and walk and eat more. It is difficult to answer “how many days does dengue fever heal?” Because some people will recover quickly and some people will take a long time, even having complications. Therefore, anyone should not be subjective with this disease. Appropriate precautions should be taken. Especially during an outbreak.
