Symptom

Dengue Fever

Also called: dengue bukhar · haemorrhagic fever

Dengue is endemic in Pakistan with major seasonal outbreaks (Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi). Most dengue is self-limiting with paracetamol and fluids. The danger period is typically days 3–7 when plasma leakage and bleeding can develop. Never take aspirin or NSAIDs (Brufen, Voren) for suspected dengue — they increase bleeding risk.
