Hello,
Regarding the question "Is dengue fever with a cough and sore throat serious?", the doctor would like to respond as follows:
Dengue fever is caused by the Dengue virus. Symptoms of the upper respiratory tract, such as sore throat and cough, can also occur. However, these symptoms may also be due to a secondary infection. Additionally, pleural effusion may occur in dengue fever. Patient with Dengue typically experiences worsening symptoms around days 4 to 6.
Therefore, you should seek medical attention at a hospital if you notice any abnormalities in your condition for further consultation.
