Sir I was already effected by dengue last year. Now I am feeling a bit weak and getting 99 centigrade of temperature. What should I do? Do I have dengue again?

Question

Once you develop the infection from one serotype, you are generally immune from getting the infection again from that serotype but you are not protected against the other three serotypes. You need to test your blood and generally, the 99-degree fever cannot be considered a sign of dengue and you need a checkup.

Are you suffering from most of the symptoms? And yes. It is possible to get dengue more than once. There are four different strains (types) of the dengue virus. If a person has suffered from one virus, there can be a repeat occurrence if a different strain is subsequently involved. Although I would suggest you verify it, but it is highly unlikely because the dengue virus across india is generally same so you mostly can't have dengue again.
