I have fever, weakness and throbbing of head. Do I have dengue?

Hi doctor,

On 16th evening, I suddenly fell sick with symptoms like fever, sudden fatigue, chills, body aches (chest, legs, shoulders, head, eyes, almost all body). I was good during the day except for an itching in the throat. The weakness was so severe that I could not even walk a few steps. I felt like I was going to collapse. Yesterday, I visited a physician who advised me to undergo a few blood tests. He thought I had dengue. Today, I received my blood reports. The dengue tests were negative. But the CBC reports suggest an infection. I still have a similar weakness that I had during the onset of fever. When I walk, I feel like my head is throbbing and it would burst. I almost hold it in my hand to suppress the pain. The body ache seems to be reduced as I am taking Calpol twice a day. Do I really have dengue? Did the test turn negative, as I did it before 24 hours of the onset of fever? Do you suggest undergoing any other tests, such as chikungunya and yellow fever? Or is it just 'atypical' viral fever? I am currently on Azithromycin once a day, Paracetamol twice a day, and Allegra twice a day.

Thank you, doctor,

I still have a fever and a severe headache when making any movement. It has been 48 hours since the onset of fever and other symptoms. Should I go for the dengue tests again? Do you suspect any other cause of infection other than influenza? Should I undergo any other tests, such as chikungunya? Three months ago, my platelet count was 210 mi, which has dropped to 150 mi. There was no major illness between these months. When should I undergo a CBC again?

Thank you doctor,

Two days ago, I got another CBC done. I am not taking medications since the last three days as I have completed the course. Currently, I have the following problems: A lot of swellings (bulges) with pus similar to boils. These are all over the lining of the nostrils, the passage from the nose to upper lip, on the upper lip and the corners of the lower lip. (attached image). I have a runny nose with thick, sticky mucus. It really becomes difficult to drain this out because of above boils. Sore throat is there from day-1 and has not improved. Though not severe, it aches while swallowing food or saliva. A migraine, especially in the neck area and above. A cough, though not severe, but it is there. In the morning I cough phlegm but afterward, it is not that wet. Considering that I am now in the sixth day of this illness, can you provide the further line of treatment, especially for those boils, sore throat and cough?

Hi doctor,

Sorry to reopen this old thread, but the exact same symptoms occurred yesterday. I have had a lingering sore throat since the first time I reported this issue. Between these 3 to 4 months, I had 2 to 3 acute sore throats followed by common cold-like symptoms lasting 3 to 4 days. During the last occurrence, I was treated with Azithromycin 250 mg twice. Symptoms lowered but did not fully go away. Four days ago, I again got common cold-like symptoms, which went on for two days. I consulted a homeopathy doctor for an immunity issue and took the first dose yesterday, and that frightening fever came back. Rapid onset and full body aches, and extreme tiredness, jumped to 104 degrees Celsius within four hours. I took Allegra 180 mg immediately, doubting an allergic reaction, and in the evening, Nemisulide and Paracetamol to relieve chills and high fever. That worked for eight hours, and in the morning, fever and chills came back. I have had a cough for three weeks now. Currently, I am taking on Levoflox 500 mg daily and Paracetamol every eight hours. When the fever rises, coughing and chills aggravate. I have done CBC, ESR, and UR. Etching has started around the upper lip, so I am expecting sores like the previous episode that occurred four months ago. So this leaves me with the following doubts

1. Do I have chronic pharyngitis?

2. Is it EBV, CMV, or HSV recurring outbreak?

3. Can this be an allergic reaction to the homeopathic medicine that I just started? Though that doctor denied it.

5. Have I developed a recurring cyclic infection or an autoimmune condition?

6. Do I have a streptococcus infection that is not going away?

Please help.
