My friend was diagnosed with dengue on 27th May and has since been undergoing treatment. At this point, he no longer has a fever or any major symptoms. However, his platelet count remains low, and he has developed rough, dry skin around his nose and ears. We have attached his most recent blood report for your review. Could you kindly check the report and guide us.

While your friend is clinically better, post dengue platelet recovery can take time. The dry skin around the nose and ears may be a temporary effect of illness or medication. I recommend a follow up CBC to monitor trends and ensure platelets are rising. Hydration and nutrition are also key.
Dr. Hema Suggests...
Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test

I am experiencing pain in both hands, which sometimes becomes unbearable. The pain extends from my arms to my fingers and even my palms. According to my blood tests, I do not have any infection or fever (dengue, etc.). I do not understand the reason for this pain. My hands feel very weak, and I am unable to lift or hold any weight. The pain lasts throughout the day and night, but occasionally it becomes extremely severe. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
