Dengue fever: Symptoms of dengue can include a high fever; joint, muscle or bony pain; severe headache &/or eye pain; rash and signs of bleeding like bruising easily, bloody nose or gums, or red petechiae on skin. I wouldn't conclude that this is Dengue based on the current symptoms. However, do seek medical eval if symptoms aren't resolving.
