Question 1

I've been dealing with a stomach ache for the past couple of days, and it's really starting to worry me. The pain only lasts a few minutes each time it hits, but it's happening multiple times a day at random intervals. It feels like something's tightening up inside my stomach and squeezing it hard for a moment. What could be causing this? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) with fever can be concerning. Since the dengue test is negative, other causes like viral infections, bacterial sepsis, or autoimmune disorders should be explored. Consult a hematologist or an infectious disease specialist for further evaluation and guidance. Repeat platelet counts and other diagnostic tests may be necessary.
