Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I stand with dengue fever for the past three days, and my platelet count is 165000 per microlitre of blood. I have symptoms of fever, headache, and dizziness. I have also had low blood pressure, which is 95/75 mmHg, for the past three days. I am following the doctor-prescribed medicine. Can you please suggest food that would improve my blood pressure to normal and increase the number of platelets?

Also, can I take my regular bath?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. Yes, you can take a regular bath.

Eat papaya for platelets. Start ORS (oral rehydration solution) for blood pressure.

I wish you good health.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
