Sorry to hear about your sufferings. High-grade fever and severe body aches do occur with dengue fever. However, its mostly self-limiting improve in its own in a week time. You can take cold showers, cold sponging and paracetamol for the fever and pains.
More important in dengue is to keep an eye on BP and platelet count as they may be serious if very low.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
