Detailed Answer:
Hello, XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting a query to HCM.
Dengue cannot be diagnosed by symptoms. Need to get specific investigations to rule out dengue.
The symptoms you are suffering from suggest of viral gastritis.
If you do not have recorded rise in temperature of above 99 F then do not worry.
If any increase in temperature then take TAB. HIFENAC. P 1 tablet fr 3 times daily.
Along with TAB. RABIKIND 1 tablet 2 times before food.
If fever persists beyond 3 days then i would suggest you to get the below investigations.
CBC and peripheral smear for malarial parasite.
dengue NS1
WIDAL
urine routine.

Any query do follow up.
take care.
