Dengue can get dangerous if not taken care of on time. Especially if it has happened the second time. On the contrary Covid 19 does not cause internal bleeding and shock like dengue.

Take a TRANSFERRIN Test or Take a DENGUE IgG & IgM - ELISA/ELFA/CLIA - HR Test

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.
