My friend was diagnosed with dengue on 27th May and has since been undergoing treatment. At this point, he no longer has a fever or any major symptoms. However, his platelet count remains low, and he has developed rough, dry skin around his nose and ears. We have attached his most recent blood report for your review. Could you kindly check the report and guide us.

While your friend is clinically better, post dengue platelet recovery can take time. The dry skin around the nose and ears may be a temporary effect of illness or medication. I recommend a follow up CBC to monitor trends and ensure platelets are rising. Hydration and nutrition are also key.

Hello Doctor, I have attached my report for your review. I am 33 years old, and the doctor has mentioned surgery as a possible treatment option, including the removal of my uterus and ovaries. If my uterus and ovaries are removed, will there be any long term health issues? Will it affect my life expectancy?
