Early symptoms of dengue fever?

Dengue hemorrhagic : High fever, sometimes also with headaches, nausea, upset stomach, weakness. Then you will notice tiny red dots on your skin or bleeding on your gum, nose- due to low platelet levels . When getting more serious, shock can happen - especially in children - and if not treated immediately it can result into organ failure and death. Treat supportively , rehydration is extremely important.
