It is unlikely that you were bitten by a dengue causing mosquito as your symptoms don't match the clinical picture of dengue. If you develop a high grade fever, chills, body pain and weakness, kindly visit the ER and undergo further investigations such as CBC, peripheral smear, Dengue IgM, etc and get treated accordingly.
