No lingering symptoms (fatigue, joint pain, muscle weakness).

Safety Precautions

Consult your doctor (especially if severe dengue or bleeding complications).

Monitor platelet count and report changes.

Masturbation is generally safe.

Prioritize rest and hydration.

Engage in gentle activities to regain strength.
