Suffering From Rashes All Over Body, High Fever. Blood Test Done. Treatment For Symptoms?
Hello doc! my husband had high fever for 3 days (38-39C), on the 4th day temp is 39-40 with rashes ... blood test result platelet count is 175, hematocrit 0.48. After 12 hours, platelet=161 hematocrit=0.48, after 24 hours , temp is 37.4-37.8, rashes begin to fade, platelet=157 hematocrit=0.46. May I ask for your opinion if he still needs another blood test or do you think he is on his way to recovery? Thank you.

it looks that he is improving ,but should do blood test after 1 day .
for rash apply calamine lotion twice a day
if itching is there ,antihistaminic is advisable
continue all medicine which are prescribed by your doctor
there may be exfoliation of skin in next 2-3 days
