does dengue fever come and go - #23567
I am really worried right now because my sister was diagnosed with dengue fever a few weeks ago. At first, she had a pretty high fever, really bad headaches, and joint pain that made it hard for her to move. After a week, she seemed to get better, and we all thought it was over, but then she started feeling sick again. Like, does dengue fever come and go? I mean, I thought once she got better, that was it, right? But now she has some fever again, and I'm super confused. The doctor said her platelet count was okay, but I just don’t get how it can just come back like this. Her symptoms seem to fluctuate; one day she has energy and the next she can barely get out of bed. I don’t know if that’s typical or what to expect. Can dengue fever really come and go like that? And how can we tell if it’s getting worse or if she's just recovering slowly? It feels like a roller coaster, and I'm trying to stay calm for her but it’s hard when the situation keeps changing. Any advice or shared experiences would really help!
