Hello and thanks for writing.

I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. Mosquito borne infections are quite common particularly in this season. Your symptoms could be related to dengue or chikungunya or any other mosquito borne infection.

I suggest you consult your GP and get your self evaluated for this. You would require simple blood tests like CBC with peripheral smear for MP, dengue NS1 Antigen testing and other tests depending upon the prevalence of other disease in your area.

In the mean while drink plenty of fluids and avoid painkillers without consulting a doctor. If necessary take paracetamol to reduce your headache. You may try cold bandages and head massage to reduce your headache as home remedies.
