I had dengue a month ago, and my platelets dropped to 18k. I got treated in the hospital and felt better after. The first week was okay, just a bit of tiredness. But now, during the day, I'm feeling way more tired and low on energy. I went back to the doctor and did blood tests again, and they said everything's normal, but I'm still feeling worn out daily. There's a slight improvement, but it's really slow. Also, I have cervical issues. Any idea what could be going on?

View allI'm feeling really confused and worried right now. I had a fever and took a paracetamol tablet at night, then ended up sweating a lot. I thought it might be some reaction to the tablet, but the next morning I woke up feeling really cold. I decided to go to the hospital, and the consultant told me its because of viral fever. Ive always thought that the main symptom of a viral infection would be a runny nose. Am I wrong about that? I got a blood test done, and the results were all normal, but the doctor still wants me to come back in two days to check my platelets. What do you think is going on?

Is it okay to smoke weed after getting a vaccine shot, like Covishield or Covaxin? Is there anything I should be aware of or any risks involved?

I've been having some weird symptoms and I'm really trying to figure out what's going on. Back on January 6th, I had some tests done that showed minor typhoid and a high TLC of 12500. I was on treatment for about two weeks, and afterwards my fever went away and my TLC went down to 11000. I felt pretty good then, but a few days later, I started feeling like I had a fever again, even though my temperature and BP were normal. Yesterday I noticed my temperature was 96.8, but it went back to normal on its own. This morning, the feverish feeling came back despite an okay temperature. I took a Dolo 650 after breakfast and felt better during the day, but then my fever spiked to 100.2 in the evening. I'm just at a loss about what's going on here. What could this be? Could you suggest which tests I should get done to find out why this keeps happening?
it is good suggestion
