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.

I am COVID 19 positive and have done all my blood reports. My eosinophil count is 0.2, and my oxygen level varies between 85 and 92. I currently have fever and cough symptoms. Do I need an oxygen cylinder or should I get admitted to the hospital?
