Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter is diagnosed with viral fever since 2-3 days. I am worried can viral fever turn into degue ? Because the doctor told us that if blood platelets count lowers then it can be dengue. But till now her blood platelet count is quite good . Please guide .
Yes, there are chances that a viral fever can turn into dengue. But there is no hard and fast rule for it. Usually the viral fever subsides on its own by 7-10 days. During this period you can monitor your daughter's platelet count, if its normal then it is absolutely fine. If it's low then you can consult your Physician and get it further evaluated to confirm it as Dengue.
Try the following things so that your daughter's fever subside soon. 1. Tepids sponging. 2. Have boiled and cool water. 3. Enough bed rest. 4. Have healthy food.
Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, then i will be happy to answer them.
Wish your daughter a speedy recovery. Take good care of her.
Regards. Dr. Surender sharma.
