Dengue fever often announces itself with a sudden high fever, frequently accompanied by a severe headache, particularly behind the eyes. Muscle and joint pain, sometimes described as "breakbone fever," are also characteristic early indicators. Recognizing these initial symptoms is crucial for seeking timely medical attention and managing the progression of the illness.
Here are 10 common symptoms of dengue fever:
- High fever (40°C/104°F) that typically lasts for 2 to 7 days.
- Severe headache, often behind the eyes.
- Severe muscle and joint pain.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Skin rash, which may appear 2 to 5 days after the onset of fever.
- Mild bleeding, such as nosebleeds, bleeding gums, or easy bruising.
- Fatigue.
- Loss of appetite.
- Swollen lymph nodes.
