My wife had dengue fever last week and was hospitalized. She was discharged 3 days ago, but this morning she developed a fever again. We gave her Dolo 650 as per the doctor suggestion, which reduced the fever, but it returns whenever she sleeps and wakes up. We did a CBC test today: Hemoglobin 10.4, RBC normal, Platelets 295, WBC 14.5. I am concerned, does she need to be hospitalized again? Please advise

High WBC (14.5) post dengue may suggest infection. Fever with sleep needs recheck. Hospital visit recommended.

For the past one month, I have been feeling fatigued and experiencing a low grade fever. My recent investigations include LFT, KFT, and CBC, which showed SGPT at 57. My urine report is normal, chest Xray is normal, Mantoux test is negative, and whole abdomen ultrasound is normal. My body temperature ranges from 96F to 100.2F. I am unsure about the cause of my symptoms and would like to know the possible reason and which specialist I should consult.

I was having low grade fever and body ache. The doctor advised me to get a dengue test. My report shows IgM and IgG non reactive, but NS1 is reactive. What does this mean?

My ten month old baby boy weighs ten kilograms and has been getting fever every eight to twelve hours for the last five days. CRP, CBC, and dengue reports are normal. The urine test report is also normal. I am giving 1.3 ml of Calpol drops. The fever goes down after the syrup, but comes back after eight to twelve hours. What should I do?
