I'm feeling like my neck and head are really hot, but I don't have a fever. Everything else seems normal, but this has been happening for about a week now. A little while back, I had dengue fever, but that got better around three weeks ago. Could this be related, or should I be worried about something else?

It sounds like you may be experiencing post-dengue symptoms. The sensation of heat in the neck and head without fever could be due to residual effects of the dengue fever. I recommend taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for any discomfort. Additionally, ensure you are staying well-hydrated and getting plenty of rest. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
