my wife has this cold for about two weeks. she on last sunday developed a fever too. she has been on anti-biotics and I have seen quite a few doctors. but the fever is not subsiding. paracetamol tablets brings them down but then it comes again. she also feels very thirsty. her platlette count has gone down a bit too
Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor, If I am your treating doctor I would like to advise you that kindly go for checking dengue NS1 antigen and dengue IGM testing. Decrease in platelets is suggestive of dengue. Give her as much fluid she is like. Also, if the platelet count is very low, kindly admit her to ICU ASAP. If you have anything else to ask kindly contact me. Thank you. Chat Doctor infectious disease specialist.
