Q. My platelet count is decreasing, but dengue and malaria are negative. Please suggest.
Hello doctor,
I have a high-grade fever for the past six days. I checked for Widal test which was positive initially. My platelet counts were at 2.2 lakhs and now it is on a decreasing trend at 1.4 now. Also, the leucocyte count went from 7700 to 2400. Dengue and malaria test are negative. Kindly suggest me what to do. I am taking Monocef, Oflaxin, Pan 40 and Dolo 650.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You can continue the same treatment.
- If the temperature does not come down in one or two days, we will go for further tests.
- Do not worry about platelets. It may go down in other diseases also.
- Since you are in the hospital, they will be checking your CBC (complete blood count) often. If it further comes down, they will infuse platelets into you.
- Regarding your WBC (white blood cells), it should be checked again and if needed, leukocytes will be infused.
- Eat well. Have only well-cooked rice and soft food at frequent intervals.
- Avoid fried, oily, food. Avoid coconuts and egg.
Revert with further reports. Take care.
