Can Dengue Medication Cause Skin Rashes And Headache?
Question: can a dengue patient get skin rashes and head ache during recovery? is there any other after effects due to medicines?
Brief Answer:
Yes can get.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
One can develop rashes during the recovery phase of dengue when there is serisitis or inflammation. But actually comment can be given after examining the rash. A rash that is due to reduced platelet counts in dengue can be differentiated on examination from a drug rash.
Now, again possibility of drug rash also gets high if a person develops rash during the recovery phase.
Drug rash can even occur even after 1 month of taking some susceptible drug!!!
Can you brief me about the rash or if possible send me 2-3 photographs from distant as well as near focus from various sites where the rash is.
Also Mention the platelet counts.
Mention if you know all the medicines that have been given to the patient self as well as in the hospital.
As far as Headache is considered, it is pretty common to have headaches, weakness ,malaise for 2 weeks after recovery from dengue fever.
Stay Healthy.

Also the body temperature remains around 97-99.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
What I can appreciate in picture is small red dots associated with Erythema. I mean the margins and surrounding area is reddish. Is that so?
Has the rash increased in size or got itchy?
Press the small dots and see If they disappear on pressing and come back on releasing.
Revert with these details and attach a photograph from little distant position.
