I've been dealing with this fever that seems to go up and down a lot. Sometimes it's really high and other times not so much. I've also got a headache and body pain. What antibiotic would you recommend for this?

I'm really worried because I've been taking paracetamol every 5 hours like they told me, but it's the third day now and I still don't see any improvement in my dengue fever symptoms. Could you suggest anything else I might try to get this under control?

It takes some time for the fever to come down.Take paracetamol as prescribed and drink 3-4 litres of water everyday. Keep checking your platelet count regularly and if there is drastic fall in the count then immediately contact your doctor again for further advise
