Thanks for asking question
I've gone through your question and understand your concern.
your kid is having fever and you investigated him. NS1 was negative but I gM and Ig G for dengue was positive and you saying that he's feeling better so I don't think there is nothing to worry.Dengue is self limiting disease. it take about one week to recover. just make sure that he take good amount of fluids. there is no specific treatment for dengue just give Paracetamol for fever.
keep watch for warning sign , severe abdomen pain, persistent vomiting, cold limbs.
there is nothing to worry thanks
hope I answer your question
