dengue cured in how many days - #15305
I am really worried about my brother who got sick last week. He had a high fever, terrible body aches, and some pretty deep joint pains. We took him to the doctor, and they said it could be dengue, which just freaked me out because of all the scary stories I've heard. They did a test, and while we were waiting for results, I found myself googling everything about dengue and how long it takes to feel better. I mean, dengue cured in how many days, really? It's been 5 days since his fever started, and I'm just hoping he gets cured soon. The doctor mentioned that dengue usually resolves itself within a week, but now I'm seeing conflicting info online. Some say a couple of days while others claim it can linger on longer. It’s such a confusing situation, you know? Plus, he got really dehydrated and that scared me more. What are the usual timeframes? Have any of you had a similar experience with dengue cured in how many days, and is this really accurate? Like, should I be worried about longer recovery times? Any advice would help, I just want him to be okay!
