Question 1

Is dengue fever more dangerous than COVID-19?

Question 2

Hi Doctor, I have been experiencing headache, eye pain, fever, stomach pain, red skin spots, body pain, leg pain, and occasional nosebleeds. Four days ago, I consulted a doctor, underwent a CBC test, and was told it was viral fever. However, now I have noticed red skin spots and rare nosebleeds, which are making me concerned. I would like to know if this could be dengue or just viral fever, and whether dengue is curable. I have attached my CBC report (done 4 days ago) along with the prescriptions I am currently taking. Please advise if the current treatment is sufficient or if I should undergo further tests or treatment.

Question 3

My husband has had a continuous fever for the past 3 days, with temperatures ranging from 98.8F to 100.5F. He also has cold and cough. Blood tests for malaria and typhoid are normal. CBC and urine routine tests are also normal. Despite taking antibiotics and paracetamol, the fever persists. Could you please advise what might be causing this and what steps we should take next?

He is having fever with temperature ranging from 98 to 103. Blood report is normal and malaria is negative. He also has cold and reddish eyes. Please suggest.

Viral illness like dengue or adenovirus or seasonal allergies may cause such symptoms. Supportive care with hydration, paracetamol, rest. If persists, check for dengue, COVID, or flu.
