Hello Doctor, I had fever, cough and body pain from last friday till Sunday, Upon medication fever has gone and body pain reduced. However cough has not reduced. I sweat a lot especially at night.  I feel very tired and drowsy for the past 2 days. Is this normal for viral fever or could this be a symptom of any other viral fever like Dengue, H1N1 or TB?
HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctori have gone through your query. Cough is not a usual symptom for dengue. But body pain and tiredness are characteristic findings. Doing a blood routine and platelet count will be helpful. Platelet count will be usually low in case of dengue. If it is low then you can go for dengue and lento immunoglobulin test to rule out Dengue or leptospirosis. H1N1 will have predominant respiratory symptoms. If you have such symptoms then you can go for throat swab to rule out H1N1. Only if cough lasting more than 2 weeks TB test will be required. Take plenty of fluids. Take chewable vitamin C also. A consultation with physician is also well appreciated. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.
