Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

I advice you to kindly do dengue testing in you.

Dengue causes a same symptoms as you mentioned.

Platelet count is very important in treating dengue. As if it is very low there is chance of hemorrhage and death.

I advice you to start fluid therapy. Take as much fluid as you can take. It will flush of the remaining virus from the body.

You can take paracetamol as and when required under your doctors guidance. This will lower down the temperature immediately.

Please check the platelet count if its to low you can take the alternate therapy in terms or platelet concentrate.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
