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?

A platelet count of 1.6 lakh is normal. Dengue typically causes a drop below 1 lakh. If fever continues with chills and weakness, test for dengue NS1 or IgM, and monitor platelets. Stay hydrated and continue paracetamol as needed.

Hi, my wife has a 7 months pregnancy and last week she suffered from fever. We consulted the doctor and took the medicines but a couple of days later her body filled with red rashes. We have gone through the CBP Dengue and other tests and the result of Dengue NS1 antigen is positive. I have attached the blood report. Could you please suggest the food and medicines?

I received my CBC report today, and my blood platelets have increased from 100,000 to 135,000 in three days. I do not have fever, and I am eating and drinking well. The only issue is that I feel chills. Could this chill be due to low platelets? Despite this, I am performing 3 rounds of push ups (15 each) with 30 second rest. Please advise if the chills are related to platelet count.
