conclusion for dengue fever - #21686
I am really worried because my neighbor just got diagnosed with dengue fever and I was a few blocks away from their house and we hang out all the time. I started feeling like really fatigued and got some weird rash on my arm and itches like crazy. Ugh! Anyway, I went to the doc and got some blood tests done, but the wait is killing me. I heard dengue fever can be serious, and it’s been driving me nuts thinking if I might be next or if this is just paranoia. What’s the conclusion for dengue fever? Like, at what point should I really panic? I've read some stuff online, but it’s all over the place. Some say most recover and others talk about complications, which freaks me out more! Does the average person make a full recovery, or do we need to be on high alert? Can someone explain to me what the conclusion for dengue fever really is when it comes to treatment, long-term effects, or anything else? If it helps, I'm not a small person, like I weigh around 200 lbs, but I don't know if that matters or if the conclusion for dengue fever is the same for everyone. I just don’t want to miss any symptoms or signs! Thanks for any insights.
