Had Fever For 3 Days. Blood Test Shows Decrease Of Platelet Count. Suggested To Have Dengue Fever. Now Platelet Is Up. Further Precautions?

Hi Experts,

I had high fever last week for three days and later come to normal, We did blood test on fourth and fifth day and Platelet count decreases to 1.5 , later doctor suggested to take more fluid foods to increase the platelet count and he said i am infected with Dengue fever and Today(seventh day) took another blood report for CBC and ESR, Now the Platelet count comes up it is 2.45 laks and ESR is 30mm/1st hr(report says Upto 15 for male).

As my ESR report is normal how should i proceed further?

Thanks
Kris

hi.. you had low platelet count after a episode of fever, which was diagnosed as dengue fever.. the further report say that your platelet count has reached normal...now take rest for 4-5 days.. take multivitamins, vitamin c supplements, fruits.. you should take also precaution against mosquito bite.. These aedes mosquitoes are larger in size and bite during day time.. take personal protective measures by using mosquito repellents/liquidators.. take out the breeding places of mosquitoes around the house which includes the containers for artificial collection of water...all the very best..
