I'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?

View allI donated 450ml of blood yesterday because my relative needed it for an operation. This was my first time donating, and I'm curious about how long it'll take for my body to replenish the donated blood. I'm also wondering if it's okay to start exercising today, as my doctor advised me not to lift heavy weights for two days. What should I include in my diet to help with recovery?
After donating blood, it typically takes your body a few weeks to fully recover the lost blood volume. To help your body recover more quickly, you can focus on eating a diet rich in iron and vitamin C. Foods like red meat, beans, spinach, and citrus fruits can help replenish your iron levels. You can also consider taking an iron supplement to support your recovery. As for exercise, it's generally recommended to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours after donating blood. After that, you can gradually resume your normal exercise routine, but listen to your body and avoid overexerting yourself. If you feel weak or dizzy, it's best to take it easy and give your body more time to recover. Remember to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to support your body's recovery process. If you have any concerns or experience any unusual symptoms, don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for further guidance.

My latest blood test shows a platelet count of 85,000, and Im really worried. Could this be a sign of dengue, or is it more likely a regular viral fever? Ive attached the test report for you to see. What do you think?

I've been noticing some random bruising on my left leg and other areas of my body, and there's no pain or any injury that I can think of. They just show up without any warning. I'm also experiencing delayed periods and was wondering if these might be related in some way? On top of that, I've been diagnosed with vertigo. Could there be any connection between these symptoms? It's all starting to worry me a bit.
