Brief Answer:
NS1 Test

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

How long has it been for your fever?

If its been only 2-4 days then ns1 antigen test for dengue can be done. If its been more days, then dengue antibody test can be done.

Also you can do a complete blood count. It will help find the cause and will also check platelet count.

Dengue is a viral infection. It gets better on its own. Supportive measures and regular monitoring for platelet count is done. In case of dengue paracetamol and pain killers are avoided. People also take juice of XXXXXXX papaya leaves to build the platelets.

Hope it helps.
