Thanks for posting your query to health care magic.
As I understand your symptom are suggestive of some viral illness .Yo odnt need to worry as this kind of manifestation are seen in may viral illness .
To rule out Dengue Blood test are available you can go for Dengue NS-1 antigen and IgM antibody testing .
Chikungunya can be rule out as rashes are uncommon here .
Further you should go for platelet count as it falls during dengue if you find it below 1 lac consult your heath care centre .
Feel free to communicate if you have any query .

Dr.Manish Purohit
