I'm finally over dengue and I'm feeling pretty well. It's been about 21 days since I had the fever. Is it okay for me to masturbate now?

Congratulations on recovering from dengue! Generally, after 21 days, you can resume normal activities, including masturbation, if:

Physical Recovery

Fever-free for 3-4 days.

Energy levels restored.

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.

Guidance

Masturbation is generally safe.

Prioritize rest and hydration.

Engage in gentle activities to regain strength.

I'm really worried because someone I know tested positive for Covid and had symptoms. But after about 5 days, the symptoms went away. Do we really need to do another Covid test now, or is it okay to skip it since theyre feeling better? I'm just unsure if there's a risk, so some guidance would be really helpful.

no need
