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.

Take a Dengue NS1 Antigen - Elisa Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

View allI just received my father blood test report and the results say IGG negative, IGM positive, and NS1 antigen negative. Does that mean he is diagnosed with dengue virus?

I have been experiencing fever for the past 3 days, along with muscle and back pain, cold, and headache. On the first day, an MBBS doctor prescribed Cefixime and Cetrizine + Phenylephrine. On the third day, I had a lab test, which showed: RBC, PCV, and platelet counts slightly below normal No parasites detected Could you please advise what these results indicate and if any further treatment or investigations are needed?

I initially had a sinus headache, which gradually disappeared. After that, I have been having a fever for over 15 days. My urine test is normal, and my CBC blood report shows a marginally low platelet count of 1.49 lakh. The doctor prescribed only Paracetamol, which provides temporary relief for a few hours. Doctor, what could be the cause of this prolonged fever? I do not have any other symptoms besides fever and fatigue.
