Dengue Symptoms

The symptom of Dengue is a sharp fever in spite of the fact that the patient is not coughing and he doesn't feel an acute pain in his body. Most of the time, dengue fever is accompanied by an acute pain in the bones and that's why this kind of fever is called bone-breaking fever, too. When the patient suffers from Dengue he feels an acute pain in his forehead in his inner side of his eyes, and in his eyes and joints. The loss of taste and appetite, the appearance of small spots on chest and vomiting and nausea are another few symptoms of this fever.

Dengue also provokes hemorrhage and the patient is irritated by the light, he is vomiting and he can't rest. It might be repeated attacks of this fever, especially after rains. Hemorrhagic dengue often provokes internal bleeding.
The patients that suffer from hemorrhage confront with an acute and continuous stomachache, yellowish and sticky skin, cols, and red raised spots on hands, feet and face. The patients bleed through nose, mouth or anus and he can become unconscious because of this. More on, the patient is repeated vomiting, he cannot rest and sleep, his mouth gets dry and he feels a continuously thirst. Hemorrhagic dengue is very dangerous and can lead to the death of the patient. And the worst thing is that it resembles very well the normal fever.
