Treatment

There are no FDA-approved treatments for Rift Valley Fever (RVF). Since most cases of RVF are mild and self-limiting, a specific treatment for RVF has not been established. Symptoms of mild illness such as fever and body aches can be managed with standard over-the-counter medications. Most of the time, people will get better within two days to one week after their illness starts. Treatment for more serious cases may require hospitalization and are generally limited to supportive care.
