I don't know what side effects you might get using acupressure for someone with dengue. I suggest you see an experienced acupuncturist who should be able to treat dengue and other diseases resulting from mosquito bites. I would probably treat with acupuncture and herbs after an examination.
Acupuncture is safe and effective
you have dengue fever? go to the hospital.
I practice acupuncture which is stimulation to the acupuncture points with needles. I do not practice acupressure.

I can't really answer your question having never treated anyone with dengue or acupressure since I am an acupuncturist. But any kind of negative side effects from acupuncture are extremely rare, so I wouldn't be too concerned. Speak to your practitioner about it so they know your concerns.

I never heard of acupressure injuring anyone. But I would take great care in treating anyone in such a state of life-threatening infection dis-ease. Massage is contraindicated with cancer (post/during chemo) and localized infections (not touching that area). I don't encourage amateur intervention with something like this.... Reiki would be safer.
Difficult question. The side effects would depend on what points were used and on your specific symptoms. Some points could make you throw up if you were feeling nauseated. And if you are sensitive to pressure there could be bruising. If the acupressure was to vigorous or stimulating you could get headache or stomach upset, but generally those are the only side effects one should experience and side effects are very, very rare.
Get a massage before acupuncture.
You will get well.
I would suggest that you contact your practitioner who provided you with acupressure. I am an acupuncturist. Dengue is a condition from the tropics that can cause many people to feel very sick. Usually, we do not do any types of massage when a person is very ill.
There aren't many side effects with using acupressure because it is just applying pressure in certain acupuncture points around the body that can help with pain.
Hello & thank you for your question! You may feel some minor soreness or mild lightheadedness, which usually improves with time, hydration, and rest.
In this case, I recommend you visit a licensed acupuncturist for treatment. Additionally, serious, acute conditions can and should be treated 3-4 times per day.
If the patient is unable to travel that often for treatment, there will be almost no side effects to acupressure if the points applied are provided by an acupuncturist who has seen and diagnosed the patient. There may be discomfort, however, from the pressure itself. Do not use points found on the internet. These points are based solely on symptoms and may not reflect what is actually happening within the body. Diagnosis by a licensed acupuncturist is crucial.

Receiving acupuncture or acupressure treatments regularly can help boost your immune system, reduce the fever and rashes and help rid the body of the virus. It’s most important to stay hydrated with coconut water and bone broth.
First off, if you're fairly sure it's dengue, you should probably see a physician. There are several serious complications to this illness and you want to make sure you're receiving proper care.
Secondly, I rarely use acupressure on patients but from an acupuncture perspective you could use it to manage body aches/pains and reduce fever. In terms of side-effects, there shouldn't be many when using acupressure since nothing is breaking the skin.
In my experience, patients experience the quickest and longest lasting results when using acupuncture over acupressure.

Thanks for your question. Acupressure and acupuncture are very safe, clinically effective treatments. The number one reported side effect of acupuncture for all patients is a small bruise at 1 or more points which resolves on its own in a day or two. Always seek a Nationally Certified and Licensed (where applicable) practitioner.
Acupuncture can help with the symptoms from dengue.

Hello! There are no side effects with acupressure to treat your condition.
Acupressure is good for your conditions, there are no side effects.
Usually, Chinese Doctor use Herb Medicine for dengue treatments. Not use acupuncture treat for dengue.
Acupressure side effects for someone with dengue will depend heavily on what stage that infected person is presenting and which pressure points are being used. Chinese medicine for dengue is not a cure, but it will facilitate the healing process thru the various stages. Some negative side effects may include but not limited to bruising and/or nerve irritation. Others may included improved strength, quality of sleep, energy and relief from pain. Personally I feel acupressure is a weaker form of treatment compared to acupuncture because you need to constantly stimulate the point.
There is no side effect doing acupuncture. It helps detox your body and increase the immune system, and also helps reduce itching.
