Question 1

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.

Question 2

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 3

My husband has had a continuous fever for the past 3 days, with temperatures ranging from 98.8F to 100.5F. He also has cold and cough. Blood tests for malaria and typhoid are normal. CBC and urine routine tests are also normal. Despite taking antibiotics and paracetamol, the fever persists. Could you please advise what might be causing this and what steps we should take next?

He is having fever with temperature ranging from 98 to 103. Blood report is normal and malaria is negative. He also has cold and reddish eyes. Please suggest.

Viral illness like dengue or adenovirus or seasonal allergies may cause such symptoms. Supportive care with hydration, paracetamol, rest. If persists, check for dengue, COVID, or flu.
