Question 1

My husband had a fever for five days, and his platelet count was 1.6 back then. For the last two days, he's been feeling very chilly. Today we checked again, and his platelet count dropped to 1.1, but the NS1 antigen test came back dengue negative. Im really confused about what this could mean and what steps we should take next. What should we do?

Accepted Answer

Elevated SGOT (AST), SGPT (ALT), and bilirubin levels can indicate liver stress or damage. Consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for personalized guidance. In the meantime, consider lifestyle modifications: avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly, and eat a balanced diet.
