Dengue fever often causes fluctuations in platelet levels, and it's common for the platelet count to initially drop significantly before stabilizing and sometimes dropping again. This pattern is often seen as the body responds to the virus, but it's crucial to monitor platelet levels closely. The need for frequent Complete Blood Count (CBC) tests, typically every 48 hours, is essential to ensure that platelet levels are not dangerously low.
I recommend consulting with me for a more detailed evaluation and personalized treatment. You can also WhatsApp me at eight-zero-zero-nine-eight-two-one-double-three-two for further advice and support.
