Hi, my wife has a 7 months pregnancy and last week she suffered from fever. We consulted the doctor and took the medicines but a couple of days later her body filled with red rashes. We have gone through the CBP Dengue and other tests and the result of Dengue NS1 antigen is positive. I have attached the blood report. Could you please suggest the food and medicines?

My platelet count has suddenly dropped by half. My recent blood test showed a platelet count of 80,000, whereas 10 days ago it was 160,000. My hemoglobin has increased over the same period from 11.7 to 12.2. I have not experienced any fever. I do have some acid reflux issues and occasional palpitations. Recently, I noticed swelling around the left side of my face near my left tonsils and a sensation of something stuck in my ear and tonsils. My doctor said this could be due to a bacterial infection, but I never had a fever. Please advise what could be causing this sudden drop in platelets and if there are any good supplements to help increase platelet count.

My father is suffering from low platelet count. Every time his test report shows between 45,000 to 15,000 per microliter. He was admitted to the hospital for a week, and the last day report showed 95,000 per microliter. Now the doctor has recommended a bone marrow test. Our whole family is worried. Please suggest. I am from Kanpur, UP.
