Platelet count is slightly low but not critically low. Glucon C (vitamin C) is safe and may help immunity. Stay hydrated and avoid unnecessary medications.

Hello Doctor, I have been suffering from fever for the past 4 days. My recent blood report shows a platelet count of 69,000 and hemoglobin of 11.8. When I discussed the low platelet count with my doctor, he mentioned that it can sometimes be low in typhoid as well, and that the prescription would be the same even if it were dengue. My concern is that every morning I experience headache, high fever, and shivering, which is only relieved by Paracetamol. Is it normal in typhoid to have recurring fever every day along with a decreased platelet count?

I have had dengue fever for the last few days, and as per my blood report, my platelet count is going down from 1.65 to 1.02. What should I do?
