Hi,
Thank you for your query.
I can understand your concern.
Dengue fever is usually around 5 days...the rash occurs after the fever disappears.It is associated with body ache and malaise.
Please go for blood tests after consultation with your doctor.Use paracetamol only for fever.
Hope this answers your query.
If you have any other queries kindly direct them to me.
Wishing a speedy recovery.
Have a nice day.
