Can dengue patients have non-veg food if they've been on medication for 3 days, no longer have a fever, and have a platelet count of 2 lakh? I'm worried about dietary restrictions and want to make sure it's safe.

Frequent Urination after Drinking Water

Possible causes:

Overactive bladder: Muscles in the bladder contract too frequently, causing urgent and frequent urination.

Sensitivity to fluids: Your body might be sensitive to changes in fluid intake, leading to increased urination.

Gastrointestinal issues: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or other gut issues might contribute to frequent urination.

Hormonal changes: Hormonal fluctuations, such as those experienced during puberty, might affect bladder control.

Self-care and monitoring:

Fluid intake management: Drink water in moderation, avoiding excessive intake.

Bladder training: Try to gradually increase the time between urinations.

Dietary adjustments: Avoid caffeine, spicy foods, and acidic beverages that might irritate the bladder.

Monitor symptoms: Keep track of your fluid intake, urination frequency, and any other symptoms.

Question

I'm really concerned about my brother who was diagnosed with Dengue fever yesterday. His platelet count was at 110,000 the day before yesterday, but today it's dropped to 69,000. Even though he seems to be feeling better, I'm worried because the platelet count is declining. The doctor has advised us to keep him at home and rest with fluids like coconut water, but should we be thinking about admitting him to the hospital instead? I'm not sure if we should stick with what our current doctor says or maybe seek a second opinion. What do you think?

Question

I'm dealing with a runny nose and got Montair LC tablets for it, but now I've caught a fever. Is it alright to take Dolo 650 or another paracetamol along with it? Just want to make sure I'm not mixing meds wrong.
