I have been diagnosed with dengue, and my platelet count is 96,000. My fever started a week ago, but now I no longer have fever or body aches, and I have not developed any rashes. Do I need to avoid any specific foods? I am not feeling weak at the moment

I have had dengue fever for the last few days, and as per my blood report, my platelet count is going down from 1.65 to 1.02. What should I do?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing fever that comes and goes with chills. After taking paracetamol and antibiotics, the fever subsides. My blood test shows platelets at 1.6 lakh/cmm. Could you please advise if this could be dengue, or what might be causing these symptoms?
