Is it worth getting dengue test? or just keep resting and rehydrating and monitor for complications. seem to have all main symptoms, and live in asia.

Dengue bleeding risk: The main reason to get checked for dengue is the bleeding risk-- as platelet counts (the sticky things in blood that keep u from bleeding) can drop dramatically. When this happens, the patient can start bleeding which could be catastrophic. The test is very easy-- tourniquet test and I'm sure any doctor there will know how to check u. Then, please get a platelet count and do what the doc tells u.
