Dengue usually starts with a sudden, very high fever, severe headache, and intense joint and muscle pain, which is why it is called breakbone fever. Because my system is already sensitive with PCOS, I try to be very careful. Please get a blood test done early to check your platelet count.
I once ignored a high fever thinking it was just a normal seasonal viral, and my platelet count dropped dangerously low, landing me in the ICU. If you have severe pain behind the eyes, skin rashes, and high fever, please get tested for dengue immediately. Don't take a risk like I did.
When my son had dengue, he had a very high fever along with severe weakness and vomiting. It is a very painful illness to go through, and resting completely is so important. Please consult a doctor quickly and keep drinking plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.
Hey, don't stress too much, but if you have a really high fever and your body feels like it's been hit by a truck, it could be dengue. Just get a simple blood test done today to check your platelets. Drink lots of ORS and water, and let me know if you need me to bring anything over.
For dengue, taking fresh papaya leaf juice and goat milk are popular home remedies to help support platelets, but they cannot replace proper medical care. High fever, nausea, and severe joint pain need a doctor's supervision. Keep drinking warm water and get your blood checked regularly.
Look, if you have a sudden high fever, red spots on the skin, and your body is aching terribly, it's likely dengue. Don't sit and wait for it to get worse. Go to a clinic, get your CBC and NS1 antigen tests done, and drink coconut water to keep your hydration up.

I had dengue last year and the weakness was just unbelievable, along with a metallic taste in my mouth and a high fever. Even after the fever went down, the exhaustion stayed for weeks. Definitely get a doctor's advice and focus on complete rest and plenty of fluids.
My dengue fever quickly turned into dengue hemorrhagic fever because I didn't seek timely medical care, and I started bleeding from my gums. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or any bleeding, please go to the emergency hospital immediately. Do not delay.
