    • No Cure

    Correct Answer
    A. No Cure
    Explanation
    Dengue fever does not have a specific cure. Currently, there is no medication or treatment available that can completely eliminate the virus from the body. The treatment for dengue fever mainly focuses on relieving the symptoms and providing supportive care. This includes rest, hydration, and pain relievers such as paracetamol (Panadol) to reduce fever and discomfort. However, it is important to note that these measures only alleviate the symptoms and do not cure the underlying viral infection. Therefore, the correct answer is "No Cure."
