I had no fever at the time when blood samples were collected. I have also lost 6-7kgs of weight in last 18-20 months but I have controlled my eating habits as well. my weight is 77kg and height is 5ft 10 inches. I had consipation issues in the past but now I drink plenty of water in morning and my stools are always soft.

Hi
Thank you for your response.
I think it would be better to test for urine routine and culture, and blood culture.
Also, repeat a TLC in 2-3 days.
Testing of Typhii Dot and Widal is also needed.
Please let e know the reports.
Best of luck

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
In case there doctor has confirmed dengue, I would suggest that you try Tab Folate 5 mg once daily .
Papaya leaf extract has been noted to help with the platelet count.
Usually, it should be 5 to 7 days before platelets increase.
Take plenty of fluids and juices.
Avoid injuries during this period.
Best of luck. Dr Mittal
