So my daughter Ms 9, it seems has Dengue Fever. So I thought I'd look it up to have a better understanding of what she's going through.
The Queensland Government health website says: http://conditions.health.qld.gov.au/HealthCondition/condition/14/217/284/dengue
Typical symptoms may include:
- sudden onset of fever, extreme tiredness
- intense headache (especially behind the eyes)
- muscle and joint pain (ankles, knees and elbows)
- loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, a metallic taste
- flushed skin on face and neck, fine skin rash as fever subsides
- red rash on arms and legs, itching, peeling of skin and hair loss
- minor bleeding (nose or gums) and heavy menstrual periods.
So. That doesn't sound fun.
My poor baby girl 😢
The website notes that it can be less severe in kids, and thankfully the symptoms come and go but are mainly general aches and pains and headaches for her. Let's hope it clears up and goes away without anything more severe happening.
Fingers crossed.
