dengue fever caused by - #21706
I am really worried because my aunt just got diagnosed with dengue fever caused by a mosquito bite when she was visiting a tropical area last month. She started feeling super weak and had this awful fever, like really high, I thought she was just summer sick or something. But then she had these terrible pains in her joints and some weird rashes started popping up too! The doctors told us that the dengue fever caused by Aedes mosquitoes is a big concern in those places, but I didn’t know it could get so serious so quickly. They ran some tests, and thankfully she’s in the hospital now getting treated, but I’ve read that sometimes it can turn into a hemorrhagic situation. I feel lost, like I don’t understand how this fever works or what really happens in the body when dengue fever caused by these mosquitoes hits. Is there anything we should be super careful about during her recovery? Like, how do we support her? How long does it usually take to bounce back? And can someone get dengue fever caused by a mosquito more than once? Ugh, this is all so confusing!
