Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
Cough , running nose are not symptoms of Dengue.
It might be due to a Viral infection of respiratory tract.
In such conditions, i suggest :
1. To get him antibiotic like Azithromycin
2. To take Anti Allergic like Levocetrizine
3. For fever use Paracetamol
If fever persists get investigated.
This is my best opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please.
Stay Healthy.
