I'm on the 9th day of my Dengue treatment, and my platelet count is at 36k. Everything else in my body and reports seems okay. I've been eating and drinking as much as I can to try and boost the count, but for the past two days, it's been stuck between 24k and 36k. I'm not sure what else I should do. Any advice?

View allI'm really worried because I've been dealing with dengue for four days now, and my platelet count keeps dropping. Is there any chance that my platelet count could start increasing soon, or should I be doing something specific to help with it?
Platelet counts are increased by the consumption of fish ,eggs,meat,coconut water ,moderate exercises,yoga and avoidance of stress etc.

I'm a bit worried because I did a CBC recently and found my monocyte level is at 13, though my WBC count is at a normal 7000. I stumbled upon some discussions online saying that high monocytes can be linked to cancer, and now I'm pretty anxious about it. I also made a mistake in an earlier message where I said my WBC count was 4200, and I'm not sure how to correct that. Do I have any reason to be seriously concerned here?

I'm trying to understand what "RBCs normocytic normochromic" means on my blood test results. Is it connected to anemia? It's a bit confusing, and I'm hoping you could explain it to me.
Severe acidity and vomiting can be debilitating. Immediate Relief: 1. _Stay hydrated_: Drink small, frequent sips of water or electrolyte-rich fluids (coconut water, sports drinks). 2. _Ginger_: Try ginger tea, ginger ale, or ginger candies to help alleviate nausea. 3. _Bland diet_: Opt for plain crackers, toast, or plain rice. 4. _Avoid triggers_: Steer clear of spicy, fatty, or acidic foods. Acidity Control: 1. _Antacids_: Take over-the-counter antacids like Tums, Rolaids, or Mylanta. 2. _Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)_: Consult your doctor about prescription PPIs like omeprazole or lansoprazole. Medical Attention: 1. _Seek immediate help_: If vomiting persists, or you experience severe abdominal pain, dizziness, or difficulty breathing. 2. _Consult a gastroenterologist_: For personalized guidance and treatment.
