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.

My wife has been suffering from dengue since Monday. On Tuesday, she did an NS1 test, which was positive, and her platelet count was 206,000. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, her platelet count was 151,000, 141,000, and 99,000 respectively. She looks stable day by day, and her temperature is around 99.5 degrees F (maximum) after taking Calpol 650 every 12 hours. Does she need to be admitted to the hospital? When will her platelet count improve? Her WBC count is 4000 now.

I do not have a fever, but I am experiencing light headache, dizziness, and lower abdominal pain. I had a CBC done, which shows a low platelet count of 52,000 and hemoglobin of 9.4. What could be the cause, and what should I do?
