A member asked:

I am in a dengue prone area and just today woke up with runny nose, slight cough and teary eyes. pain behind eyes too. should i test for dengue?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: There is no specific treatment for dengue. I do not know what test you are contemplating, but it may be negative in the acute phase. Watch and wait, if the symptoms worsen see a doctor for supportive care.
