Question 1

Since yesterday, rashes have started all over my body and I also have fever. I vomited once this morning. I consulted a physician and got a blood report which shows platelet count 3.6 lakhs. Should not this be a serious issue?

Question 2

I have had dengue fever for the last few days, and as per my blood report, my platelet count is going down from 1.65 to 1.02. What should I do?

Question 3

My platelet count has suddenly dropped by half. My recent blood test showed a platelet count of 80,000, whereas 10 days ago it was 160,000. My hemoglobin has increased over the same period from 11.7 to 12.2. I have not experienced any fever. I do have some acid reflux issues and occasional palpitations. Recently, I noticed swelling around the left side of my face near my left tonsils and a sensation of something stuck in my ear and tonsils. My doctor said this could be due to a bacterial infection, but I never had a fever. Please advise what could be causing this sudden drop in platelets and if there are any good supplements to help increase platelet count.
