Question 1

I have been experiencing fever for the past 3 days, along with muscle and back pain, cold, and headache. On the first day, an MBBS doctor prescribed Cefixime and Cetrizine + Phenylephrine. On the third day, I had a lab test, which showed:
RBC, PCV, and platelet counts slightly below normal
No parasites detected
Could you please advise what these results indicate and if any further treatment or investigations are needed?

Question 2

I have had a fever since last Sunday. Blood tests showed: Dengue NS1 Antigen is Positive, IgM Antibodies is Negative, IgG Antibodies is Positive. I would like to know:
Under what conditions or severity of dengue should a patient be hospitalized?
Is there any specific medicine available in India for treating dengue?

Question 3

Diagnosed with dengue today and already hospitalized. I was admitted on Tuesday evening for a viral infection. Blood reports were done on Monday, Thursday, and today. My platelet count dropped from 1.8 to 0.90, and now it is 0.28. After that, the dengue test came back positive. Please suggest what should be done.

What precautions should I take after suffering from dengue?

Eat a well-balanced diet and use mosquito repellant to ensure that you do not get dengue again.
