View allI'm really worried because I've had a fever on and off for a week, and I've been taking Dolo 650 and the Taxim antibiotic intermittently as prescribed by my doctor. He suggested I get another platelet test done, but since my last test was just under 24 hours ago, I was told I need to wait 24 hours before doing it again. For the last couple of days, I've been taking the meds continuously, and while I do feel a bit better, I'm not fully recovered. My body aches and my fever's hovering around 101. Could this possibly be dengue?
Considering your symptoms and the need for another platelet test, it is important to continue monitoring your condition closely. In case of suspected dengue fever, it is recommended to maintain hydration and rest. Additionally, you can consider taking Paracetamol 500mg for fever and body pain relief. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm curious about deworming for adults in the 40-50 age range. Should we be doing it even if everything seems fine, or is it unnecessary? Also, would taking albendazole be safe in such cases?
