Fever & pains: Dengue fever is characterized by fever, headache behind the eyes, and severe muscle aches. Some go on to severe internal oozing. The only way you can be sure you have it is a blood test. There is no specifc treatment for dengue: use acetaminophen, plenty of fluids & rest. If you are very ill see you doctor to make sure the symptoms are not caused by something else.
