I'm really worried because I've had a fever for the past 5 days, and after seeing a doctor, I found out that my white blood cell count is down to 2300 and my platelets are at 0.81 lakhs. I did a dengue test today, and it came back positive, but I haven't noticed any improvement yet. My doctor mentioned something about starting treatment on the 5th day. Can you please help me understand what kind of treatment to expect for dengue?

Hi there I understand your concern... There is no specific treatment for dengue its just supportive and symptomatic...treatment is mainly to reduce fever, prevent dehydration and to observe patient carefully...if you are not having spontaneous bleeding nothing to worry... Just consult nearest physician and get your platelets checked daily as count bellow 20k may lead to dengue shock syndrome in that case you will require platelets transfusion...

View allI'm in the process of applying for a visa and found out I need a medical certificate. They mentioned I have to be certified by a doctor to show I'm not suffering from any illness that could affect public health under the International Sanitary Act 2005. I'm really nervous about it and not sure what kind of diseases they're checking for. Can you help me understand what this is all about and what I should expect when getting this certificate?
visit a qualified healthcare provider, undergo the required tests, and ensure that the medical certificate reflects that you do not have any communicable diseases in accordance with the International Health Regulations (2005).

I'm worried because last night, I had really severe symptoms and ended up taking both Wikoryl and Dolo 650. Is it okay to take them together, or should I be concerned about any potential problems or side effects from combining these medications?

I'm following an anti-rabies vaccination schedule with the intradermal route and my doses were on Days 0, 3, 7, and the last one on Day 28 which I'm supposed to get on 1st August 2021. I've already had 3 doses, but today a street dog scratched me with its nails, causing minor bleeding. There's no big wound, just a scratch. Should I take an extra dose of the vaccine? I'm not sure what to do and could really use your advice.
no one complete dose is enough
