A member asked:

20 days back i suffered from dengue fever, now i can't walk i am getting cramps in leg muscles and short breathless. how long it ll take me to recover?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Variable: Symptoms related to dengue virus infection can last 6 months or longer, although this is unusual. You should, however, go back and be seen by your doctor to be certain that there is not something else going on, possibly unrelated to the dengue infection.
