It's been about two weeks since I got hit with dengue. I haven't had a fever for the past 4 or 5 days, but I'm feeling extremely weak is this something I should be worried about? I get tired really quickly. Do you think it's necessary to see a doctor about this, and how long do you think it'll take for me to feel like myself again?

It is normal to experience body weakness and fatigue after suffering from dengue fever. This is due to the strain the illness puts on your body. To help with your recovery, make sure you are getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, and eating nutritious foods. You can also consider taking Vitamin C supplements to boost your immune system. It may take a few weeks for your body to fully recover and regain its strength. If you continue to feel extremely weak or if your symptoms worsen, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take a multivitamin supplement like Revital H, once a day to help with your recovery.
