Experts Explain Differences Between Dengue and Viral Fever Symptoms and Warning Signs
Dengue and viral fever share similar early symptoms, making diagnosis challenging without medical evaluation. Dengue, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, often presents with sudden high fever, severe headache, muscle and joint pain, and rash, while viral fever typically includes respiratory symptoms like cough and sore throat. Experts advise against self-medication and recommend prompt professional assessment, especially during monsoon, as dengue can become life-threatening if warning signs such as persistent abdominal pain or bleeding appear. Blood tests may be necessary for accurate diagnosis.
