Is it normal to platelet count 398000 after a dengue infection?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, I have been suffering from fever for the past 5 days. My recent blood test shows a WBC count of 3.52 and platelet count of 99. What should I do? Please advise.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I initially had a sinus headache, which gradually disappeared. After that, I have been having a fever for over 15 days. My urine test is normal, and my CBC blood report shows a marginally low platelet count of 1.49 lakh. The doctor prescribed only Paracetamol, which provides temporary relief for a few hours. Doctor, what could be the cause of this prolonged fever? I do not have any other symptoms besides fever and fatigue.
