Yes there are tests like NS1 antigen, IgG, IgM for dengue which can confirm the diagnosis. As far as treatment is concerned it depends on the condition of the patient. As its a viral disease if there are no complication the treatment remains only symptomatic and does not require hospitalisation in every case. In case of complication like decreasing platelet count one need to rush to the hospital instead of relying on online consultation.
