dengue symptoms appear in how many days - #19236
I am really worried because I started feeling sick a few days ago. I went to visit some family in a tropical area, and now I'm back home, but I have this nagging headache, some joint pain, and I've been super fatigued. I looked up dengue because I know it can be a risk, and now I'm just stressing out because I read that dengue symptoms can appear in how many days? I thought I was just tired from traveling, but this feels different. My friend was telling me that she got dengue last summer, and her symptoms didn't start showing up until like a week after she got bitten—but then, I also heard that some people notice symptoms way sooner. Is it a specific timeline for when dengue symptoms appear in how many days? Or does it really depend on the person? I just don’t want to freak out too much if it's all in my head, but I’m trying to keep an eye on it. Should I go see a doctor right away, or wait a few days more? Any advice on what to look for? The fatigue is really throwing me off, and I've been feeling chills too. Do you think I need to be tested or something? I'm just really confused about when dengue symptoms appear in how many days...
