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 allMy dad was admitted about a week ago. His white blood cell count was 16,800, but it's normal now. However, the Widal test came back positive at 1:160. He's on treatment with Pipzo 4.5g injections, Pantop, Ns 500ml, Nurostar injections, and taking Calpol 650 and Cefuroxime 500 twice a day. Is this the right approach? I'm a bit worried and could use some guidance.
continue the same medication

I'm trying to get a medical fitness certificate from a government hospital, and I'm a bit confused about how to go about it. I've got this proforma that needs to be filled out by a government doctor. Can you guide me on how the process works, or what steps I should take to ensure I can get this done properly?
To obtain a medical fitness certificate from a government hospital, you will need to visit the hospital's outpatient department (OPD) and consult a government doctor. Bring your proforma along with valid identification, and the doctor will assess your health and fill out the required details on the form.

I've been dealing with a bad throat cough and mucus for a couple of days now. My doctor gave me Azee and Dolo 650, but I havent started taking Dolo yet and have only had two doses of Azee so far. My fever is still at 100 degrees. Is this normal for a minor throat and seasonal infection? How long is it expected to last?
take dolo and continue Azithromycin for 3 more days
