Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have had a fever, headache, and generalized body pain since yesterday. I consulted a physician. He prescribed me medicines and advised me of a blood test.

My blood test report is attached here for your reference. Still, headaches and fever are high sometimes.

Kindly give your opinion.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have checked your blood reports (attachments removed to protect patient identity).

This is the dengue season. Though the fever and headache with body aches can often and most commonly indicate a viral etiology but a decreased platelet count of 1.39 indicates that vigilance has to be maintained.

  1. Watch for any reddish rash developing over the body and get platelet counts done every 48 hours to check for a decrease or increase.
  2. Drink plenty of oral rehydration fluids like ORS (oral rehydration salt) sachets, and keep the fever and pain down with Paracetamol, and have adequate rest.
  3. You need to be monitored, and if the levels go below 60000, then you may have to be admitted to the hospital as well, with a suspicion of dengue.
  4. You may get a dengue screening done beforehand for its IgG and IgM (immunoglobulin G and M) antibodies to confirm the diagnosis.

I hope you find this helpful.

Thank you.
