Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Dengue test can be taken now itself why do you want to wait for 2 days?
You might be having gastroenterits also.
Drink lots of fluids and even ORS. Have curd everyday and have curd rice as much as possible.
It might subside. But if it doesn't , then you might require antibiotics based on the test reports.
In any case. Drink lots of water.
Best regards.
Dr. Anil kumar jain.

Hi there I understand your concern...you may be having gastroenteritis considering your history...I would suggest you to consult drink plenty of fluids,tender coconut etc to replenish water and electrolytes loss....take probiotics and antispasmodics to reduce the symptoms...take pantoprazole 40 mg before food along with domperidone...you may require clinical examination to assess dehydration and for specific diagnosis consult nearest physician they will do the needful.
