admit in hospital

General Physician in Lahore - Dr. M Aqib Rasheed

post dengue fatigue and throat pain is common
repeat CBC tomorrow and observe the pattern of platelets count
observe for bleeding if any
till then continue with good hydration and take some good bed rest
plt count shows improvement usually after 7-8 days but if you observe a further drop in platelets that is below 20 then go to Hosp ER where they will admit you for observation and continue with the IV medication and regular platelets monitoring

Do blood CBc with platelets count daily.
Want to see the latest CBC report.
If vomiting,pain abdomen ,low BP or bleeding from gums, skin pupuric red spots ,intense weakness report to hospital.
Continue Panadol and moderate amount of liquids by mouth.Do not overdrink water and liquids.
Soon the disease will reverse and platelets will start improving.
