Infectious Diseases Specialist, Dr. Arun's Response

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you to test for dengue. Such infection can only be possible with malaria or dengue. But your blood report will suggest something regarding that. Kindly upload it to help you further.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
Infectious disease specialist.
Wish you a best health at health care magic.
