Hi

Her dengue, malaria, covid and typhi tests are negative. But her platelets fell from 180 to 150 from yesterday to today.
Other symptoms are severe headache, loss of appetite, nausea and chills when fever is high.. no other symptoms. Throat and stomach are fine.
We showed to a doc here and he doesn't have answers. Please advise.. what could this be.

Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Your doctor has done the initial investigations correctly - as Covid ,Dengue , Malaria , Typhoid
are the common causes of Fever in the community
If none of these are positive, we need to find the focus of infection and hence it needs further evaluation
Do you have the CBC report ?
What's the level of WBCs / Leukocytes?
Also is the blood culture and antibiotic sensitivity sent ?
Is there any Urinary Symptoms like - Burning sensation while passing urine or frequent urge to pass urine ?
