Answers:
Um, if you mean a mosquito carrying _dengue_, that sounds not good. This site (http://www.dhpe.org/infect/dengue.html... ) says ...
"The time between the bite of a mosquito carrying dengue virus and the start of symptoms averages 4 to 6 days, with a range of 3 to 14 days. An infected person cannot spread the infection to other persons but can be a source of dengue virus for mosquitoes for about 6 days."
If you think you're going to get sick, you'd better take it easy on yourself, eat well, sleep well, and drink plenty of water. The same website notes that ...
"There is no specific treatment for dengue. Persons with dengue fever should rest and drink plenty of fluids. They should be kept away from mosquitoes for the protection of others. Dengue hemorrhagic fever [a rare but serious complication of dengue] is treated by replacing lost fluids. Some patients need transfusions to control bleeding."
Here's more info about the vector mosquitos themselves, with photos so you can tell if your mosquito really was a dengue mosquito: http://www.health.qld.gov.au/dengue/deng... .
