What can I do to bring it down since I can't get any medicine right now? It's the middle of the night, and I need some sleep. I've already tried breathing exercises. Do you have any other advice?

If you are unable to get medicine right now, you can try taking over-the-counter acetaminophen (Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg to help reduce any pain or fever that may be keeping you awake. Additionally, you can try using a cold compress on your forehead to help bring down your temperature and promote relaxation. Make sure to stay hydrated and maintain a comfortable sleep environment. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.

I'm a bit worried because I had dengue fever 5 days ago, and when I left the hospital, my platelet count was at 150,000. But yesterday, it dropped to 140,000. Is this kind of drop normal, or should I be concerned about it?
