3. Severe muscle and joint pain
Severe muscle and joint pain are early signs of dengue fever. If you have never had problems with your joints before, you need to find out what could be causing it now. In the beginning, you won’t know you have dengue disease. You can put topical analgesics on the affected areas to get some relief. In conjunction with topical analgesics, take Tylenol as prescribed on the bottle.
Since it’s severe, you may have to go in to see a doctor who may be able to prescribe stronger medication to help with the joint and muscle pain. Massages are also good for you to have joint and muscle pain. It’ll help your muscles relax for a while. A chiropractor will massage your muscles with the use of machines. He or she may prescribe topical analgesics that can only be found in the office. Once dengue fever goes away, the muscle and joint pain should as well.
