Fever, headache, aching bones in Bali?
Get tested for dengue today at your hotel.
Dengue is the most common serious illness travellers catch in Bali, and the first days look like a bad flu. Our doctor comes to your room with an NS1 rapid test and blood count, starts fluids, and monitors your platelets daily so you are never guessing whether it is "just a virus".
What happens when you message us
Dengue is managed, not cured — early testing and close monitoring is what keeps it safe.
Tell us your symptoms
Fever, when it started, headache, rash, bleeding gums, vomiting. We reply in minutes and tell you what to drink while we are on the way.
Doctor tests you at your room
NS1 antigen rapid test (best days 1–5 of fever) plus full blood count for platelets and haematocrit. Result in about 1-2 hours.
Fluids, fever control, rest
IV rehydration if you are not drinking enough, paracetamol for fever (never ibuprofen or aspirin with dengue), anti-nausea if vomiting.
Daily follow-up visits
Repeat blood count each day through the critical phase (days 3–7). If platelets fall fast or warning signs appear, we arrange hospital admission immediately.
Is it dengue — or just a flu?
You cannot tell from symptoms alone — that is what the test is for. When in doubt, message us; the assessment on WhatsApp is free.
Low-grade fever, runny nose, sore throat, cough, feeling OK between fevers
Rest, fluids, paracetamol. Message us if fever passes 38.5°C or lasts more than 2 days.
Sudden high fever 39–40°C, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint aches, nausea, rash on day 3–5, extreme tiredness
Classic dengue picture. Rapid test at your room today, blood count, fluids, and a monitoring plan.
Severe stomach pain, persistent vomiting, bleeding gums or nose, blood in vomit or stool, cold clammy skin, drowsiness, fever drops but you feel worse
These mark the critical phase (usually day 3–7). Message or call now — this needs same-day assessment and possibly hospital care.
Day-by-day — what dengue looks like and what we do
Dengue has three phases. Most people worry in the febrile phase and relax in the critical phase — which is backwards. Here is how we track it.
- D1–3Febrile phase — high fever, aches, headache. Visit 1: NS1 test + blood count, fluids, paracetamol schedule, oral rehydration plan. We tell you exactly what to watch for.
- D3–7Critical phase — fever drops; this is when platelets fall and fluid can leak. Daily blood count at your hotel. IV fluids if haematocrit rises or you cannot drink. Hospital if warning signs or platelets drop sharply.
- D7–10Recovery phase — appetite returns, sometimes an itchy rash on hands and feet. Final blood count to confirm platelets rising; clearance to fly.
- FlyFlight advice — we advise not flying during the critical phase. We provide a fit-to-fly or unfit-to-fly letter for your airline and insurer.
Dengue is diagnosed and managed by the doctor after examining you and reviewing the blood results. Treatment plans are individual — the timeline above is a guide, not a promise.

Dengue FAQ
How do I know if my fever is dengue?⌄
You cannot be sure from symptoms. Sudden high fever with severe headache, pain behind the eyes, body aches and later a rash is typical, but only a blood test confirms it. We test at your room in about 15 minutes.
Is there a cure or antiviral for dengue?⌄
No. Treatment is supportive: fluids, fever control with paracetamol, rest, and close monitoring of platelets during the critical phase. Done well, most people recover fully in 1–2 weeks.
When is dengue dangerous?⌄
Usually days 3–7, often just as the fever drops. Warning signs are severe stomach pain, persistent vomiting, bleeding, cold clammy skin or drowsiness. That is when hospital care may be needed — message us immediately.
Can I take ibuprofen or aspirin?⌄
No. They increase bleeding risk with dengue. Use paracetamol only, at the dose the doctor gives you.
Can I fly home with dengue?⌄
Not during the critical phase. Once platelets are rising and you are drinking well, usually yes. We provide a fit-to-fly letter for the airline and insurer.
Do you do the test on children?⌄
Yes. Children can get dehydrated and deteriorate faster, so we monitor them more closely and have a lower threshold for hospital referral.
Is dengue treatment covered by travel insurance?⌄
Almost always, as emergency medical care. We provide an itemised receipt, medical certificate and daily notes for your claim. Cash and card accepted.
