Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing high fever since Saturday, and my reports indicate dengue. Along with fever, I have full body pain and itching. My blood reports are: Monday CBC: WBC 4300, Platelets 2.5 lakh Tuesday CBC: WBC 2600, Platelets 1.5 lakh, SGPT 101, BP 100/70 I am currently taking Lenol ER, C Lin 500, Rabeprazole Sodium, and Domperidone DSR. Previously, I was able to reduce the fever with Paracetamol (Calpol 650), but now the fever is persistent. How should I manage this? What steps can help cure or relieve my symptoms?
