Have I been infected with Dengue Virus
My office colleague who lives in my hsotel is admitted in hospital because of dengue. His Platelets dopped to 35,000.
I was in contact with till he had a platelet count of 68,000.
Since 2 days I am feeling a bit warmth in my body. Today my eyes are burning slightly and slight body pain is there. Fever is not there but I can feel my body warmer than daily.
What should I do? Would getting a dengue test right now conclusive to tell whether I have a dengue or not?
Should I wait?
Note: I do have mucus problem. Once in every few months I get fever and mucus. So could this burning be due to the same mucus or dengue?
