I'm feeling pretty worried about my platelet count, which is 4.94 lakhcumm. I've got a fever, runny nose, throat ache, body ache, and a headache too. Is this platelet count something I should be concerned about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A platelet count of 4.94 lakhscumm is within the normal range, as typical platelet counts are between 1.5 to 4.5 lakhscumm. However, your symptoms of fever, runny nose, throat ache, body ache, and headache suggest a viral infection, which could be the cause of your discomfort. It is important to rest, hydrate, and consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and management.

My puppy is really young and going through the teething phase. It seems to bite everything, including my hands and feet. Just a day ago, it tried to bite me, and when I moved my hand away, its teeth scratched me, causing a bit of bleeding. On the same day, it also scratched me while playing, and it drew blood again. I know the puppy's mom is a stray and she wasn't vaccinated, but the puppy hasn't had any other contact with outside animals except for her. Do you think I need a rabies shot because of these scratches? Should my siblings be concerned if they've played with the puppy and were bitten, even if there wasn't any bleeding? It's been two days since the scratch. What should I do?
Rabies transmission from a scratch is very unlikely, especially if there was no saliva contact with the wound. If the puppy seems healthy and is not exhibiting symptoms of rabies, you do not need a rabies shot at this time. Your siblings are at low risk as long as they were not bitten deeply or exposed to saliva on open wounds. It's always safer to clean the wounds well and seek advice from a doctor or local health authorities if you are still concerned.

I'm feeling like I have a fever, but when I check my body temperature, it seems normal. I haven't got a thermometer handy right now. What should I do? Is there a specific medicine you'd recommend for this?
If you're experiencing internal feverish sensations without a raised body temperature, you can try taking Paracetamol (Crocin, Calpol, or equivalent) 500mg-1000mg, but if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions that may require specific treatment.
