Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
This is difficult to comment without clinical and laboratory testing.
However, dengue presents with fever, malaise, eye pains, bleeding manifestations.
If you are having any bleeding from any where, then simply get tested.
These days viral is on high, so if your fever doesn't subside on taking these medications, get following tests done:
1. Hemogram
2. Malaria antigen
3. Dengue serology.
Don't take any pain killers except Paracetamol for fever.
This is my personal opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy
