Fever Treatment in Phuket
A fever in the tropics should never just be “waited out”. Dengue, flu, food-borne infection, urinary infection — the causes need different treatments, and same-day testing tells them apart.
How We Treat It
- Doctor examination and history
- Rapid tests: dengue NS1, influenza, urine, blood counts
- Cause-directed treatment started same visit
- IV fluids for dehydration
- Clear guidance on warning signs to watch
When to See a Doctor
The pattern of a fever — how it started, what rides along with it, where you have been — narrows the cause, and a small panel of rapid tests usually settles it within the hour. Guessing, by contrast, wastes the days that matter most.
Until dengue is excluded, take only paracetamol for fever — no ibuprofen or aspirin. Seek urgent care for a stiff neck, confusion, breathing difficulty, a non-blanching rash, or fever in an infant.

Book an AppointmentFrequently Asked Questions
My fever went away and came back — do I still need testing?
Yes — a returning fever is a classic dengue pattern and deserves prompt review even if you feel better in between.
When is fever an emergency?
Above 40°C, with confusion, stiff neck, breathing trouble, or in a very young child — emergency care immediately.
