Hi, I have been suffering from fever for the past 5 days. My recent blood test shows a WBC count of 3.52 and platelet count of 99. What should I do? Please advise.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Fever with low WBC (3.5) and low platelets (99) may indicate viral infections like dengue. Avoid painkillers except paracetamol, take plenty of fluids, and get adequate rest. Monitor for red spots, bleeding, or worsening weakness. Do a Dengue NS1 Antigen Test, repeat CBC daily, and consult your doctor immediately to track platelets and WBC trends. Go to the hospital if bleeding, breathlessness, or severe weakness occurs.
Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...
Take a Dengue NS1 Antigen - Elisa Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

I am a 33 year old science graduate. I know that fever and high WBC count are defense mechanisms of our body to protect from infection. But my CBC blood report showed a low WBC count, and I have had fever for 5 days. How are low WBC count and fever related to each other?
