Thank you for the query dengue fever is a type of viral fever which occurs due to the bite of aedes mosquito. Usually the symptoms are high grade fever (>101 f), severe headache and generalised body ache (hence it is also called break bone fever). Sometimes it is associated with pain behind the eyes (retro-orbital pain). Some patients may present with severe upper abdominal pain due to associated gastritis. Dehydration is offen associated and hence dizziness may be present. Complicated cases may present with bleeding like nasal bleeding, gum bleeding, menorrhagia (in females) and these patients need to be monitored. You can get some basic blood tests done like complete blood count. Dengue may sometimes be associated with low white blood cell and platelet counts. Specific tests like dengue igm and ns1 antigen may be useful.
