Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Dengue presents with fever and joint pain, pain in the back of eyes and generalized weakness. But Dengue needs to be confirmed by testing for NS1 antigen or IgM or IgG antibodies. Weakness due to vomiting, dehydration also presents with similar symptoms. Please continue the treatment for fever and vomiting. Fluid diet is recommended. Please get the appropriate tests done if dengue is suspected by her treating doctor. Thanks.
