What Causes Tingling And Swelling In Hands After Suffering Hemorrhagic Dengue?

I had hemorrhagic dengue fever in November. Some symptoms included swollen hands and feet, itching as well. Although I feel in fine health now, I continue to have tingling in my fingers, and my hands swell in hotter weather. I have also noticed a loss of balance in recent months in yoga classes I take. Is this anything to be concerned about? I am a 63 year old retired active female, eat healthy foods, don t drink (much), don t smoke, and have a positive outlook on life.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
With such presentations in my clinic, I would first rule out serious conditions if related to brain by doing CT plain, beacuse there is a chance of clots damaging that particular nerves causing loss of balance or tingling and numbness of particular sites you are having.Once I am sure this is not life threatening I would think of just post dengue phase where all the patients will be having just due to nerve weakness, will give plenty of hydration first, then start on multi vitamin which include vitamin B12 to strenthen your nerves so that tingling and numbness will be reduced.
If it is not relieved I would refer to an neuro physician for further management.
Please let me know if you have further questions before meeting your primary care Doctor.
