what is the symptoms of dengue - #22546
I am trying to piece together what’s going on with me, and I’m worried it might be dengue. Last week, I came back from a trip to a tropical area and now, hmm, I’ve been feeling really awful. It started with this sudden high fever, like 102°F, and my whole body feels achy. I didn’t think much of it, but then the headaches kicked in — like someone’s pounding on my skull with a hammer. Last night, I woke up drenched in sweat, and the chills were unreal. I looked up what is the symptoms of dengue and saw mentions of joint pains, and boy, my knees feel like they’re not even mine! Also, is it normal to feel nauseous? I’ve barely eaten anything since this started. My friend said I should check for rashes, but I don’t really see any, but maybe I just missed them? I read somewhere that dengue can be serious, and now I can’t help but think about it. What is the symptoms of dengue I should really be on the lookout for? Should I run to the doctor right now, or is it too early to panic? Can anyone help me figure this out? I want to be safe, any advice would be super helpful!
