I have been experiencing high fever since Saturday, and my reports indicate dengue. Along with fever, I have full body pain and itching. My blood reports are: Monday CBC: WBC 4300, Platelets 2.5 lakh Tuesday CBC: WBC 2600, Platelets 1.5 lakh, SGPT 101, BP 100/70 I am currently taking Lenol ER, C Lin 500, Rabeprazole Sodium, and Domperidone DSR. Previously, I was able to reduce the fever with Paracetamol (Calpol 650), but now the fever is persistent. How should I manage this? What steps can help cure or relieve my symptoms?

Your platelets are dropping and liver enzyme (SGPT) is high, which is common in dengue. Persistent fever, body pain, and low WBC show the viral phase is active. Avoid antibiotics like C Lin unless advised for a confirmed bacterial infection. Stay hydrated (ORS, coconut water), avoid NSAIDs like ibuprofen. If platelets drop below 1 lakh or you get bleeding, seek hospital care.

I recently got my blood report, and it shows that my platelet count is 100,000. However, I am currently feeling completely normal. I am a bit confused and concerned about what this low platelet count could mean.

My mother is suffering from dengue and she is admitted in ICU in hospital. Her blood count is 5000 only. One transfusion of platelets has already been done and now we are waiting for the next blood report. What should be done in this condition? What precautions need to be taken? What food should she eat? What points should be taken care of further? Please provide your valuable inputs.
