Waking up with a severe headache, pain in the legs and hands, and tiredness together is a common pattern of a viral fever or flu-like illness. In India, conditions like dengue and malaria can also start exactly this way â especially if there have been recent mosquito bites or if fever develops. Please check his temperature now, and watch for any rash, small red spots on the skin, or worsening of symptoms, as these can indicate dengue.
