Brief Answer:
Dengue test,typhoid test and CRP should be done
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for asking on this platform
I have gone through the details and reports.
The report shows normal hemoglobin.Although the Platelet count is >100000/cmm but it is towards lower range(Normal >2.5 lac/cmm).The TLC(total leukocyte count is low <4000.
In viral infection fever should show a falling trend after 3-4 days.If fever persists longer other causes should be searched for.
In view of low leukocyte count and fever persisting for 6 days I would like to get Dengue test,test for typhoid and C reactive protein(to rule out bacterial infection).
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any more query.
Regards
