There’s no such thing like normal mosquito bite, secondly every bite has a character like itchy red rash. Coconut oil is not proven mosquito repellent
Next Steps
Wear full sleeves clothes prevent collection of water

Dengue is caused by mosquito. So mosquito bite and dengue mosquito bite will be same.
You can apply odomos to prevent bite
