DNA WEB DESK

Chronic headaches

Dengue fever-related headaches are described as being extremely strong, bilateral, throbbing, frontal, and retro-orbital.

Unusual rashes

Two to five days after the fever begins, a flat, red rash may spread over the majority of the body. Later on in the illness, there is a second rash that resembles the measles.

long-lasting fatigue

A persistent feeling of exhaustion that reduces one's ability to perform both physical and mental tasks is what is commonly referred to as fatigue during the acute stages of dengue infection.

Severe body pain

Severe body aches are one of the symptoms of dengue fever, also known as "break-bone fever." With the help of analgesics, the severe body aches that result from the viral infection spreading throughout your muscles will momentarily subside.

Vomiting 

Among the symptoms of dengue are nausea and vomiting because the illness of the gut and intestinal wall can cause blood in the vomit. Additionally, you might have frequent diarrhoea accompanied by tenderness and an aching stomach.

Eye pain

The back of your eyes can hurt if you have dengue fever. In addition to constant headaches, you might also feel throbbing pain that moves around. 

Thickened lymph nodes

All over your body, dengue infections can also impact your lymph nodes. In addition to causing extreme inflammation, a swollen neck region is one of its symptoms.
