My wife is suffering from dengue as per the test report, but I am unable to confirm if the report is correct. The doctor has prescribed Grenil tablet. I do not know if this medicine is appropriate. I am attaching the report here. Please advise what to do, whether the reports are okay, what her platelet count is, and if the medicine is effective or not?

Grenil (paracetamol) is commonly given for fever in dengue. If platelet count is stable and there are no bleeding signs, its okay. Focus on hydration and monitoring. Share platelets count with your doctor if unsure.

My father has easily bruising skin, especially in a particular season. There is no pain or itching. We have done a blood report, which shows a low platelet count, which may indicate a purpura-like condition.

My mother is suffering from dengue and she is admitted in ICU in hospital. Her blood count is 5000 only. One transfusion of platelets has already been done and now we are waiting for the next blood report. What should be done in this condition? What precautions need to be taken? What food should she eat? What points should be taken care of further? Please provide your valuable inputs.

I recently got my blood report, and it shows that my platelet count is 100,000. However, I am currently feeling completely normal. I am a bit confused and concerned about what this low platelet count could mean.
