Hi, my platelet count is 85,000. Does this indicate dengue, or could it be a normal viral fever? I have attached my blood test report for reference.

Low platelets can occur in both dengue and viral fevers. Dengue should be ruled out with NS1 or IgM test if not already done. Monitor platelets every 1 to 2 days.
Dr. Shaik Suggests...
Take a DENGUE SEROLOGY RAPID (IgM AND NS1 ANTIGEN) - KA Test or Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) 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.
