Dengue Fever Treatment in Johor Bahru

Demam Denggi

Dengue is endemic in Malaysia with tens of thousands of cases reported annually, particularly during the monsoon season. Transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, dengue can range from mild fever to life-threatening dengue haemorrhagic fever. Early detection with the NS1 antigen test within the first 3 days of fever is critical.

Symptoms of Dengue Fever

Sudden high fever (39-40°C)
Severe headache, especially behind the eyes
Intense muscle and joint pain ("breakbone fever")
Nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite
Skin rash appearing 2-5 days after fever onset
Mild bleeding (nose, gums) or easy bruising

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor immediately if you have high fever with body aches and no cold symptoms. Seek emergency care for persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, bleeding from gums or nose, blood in stool or vomit, restlessness, or rapid breathing — these are warning signs of severe dengue.
